I think the point is that these addresses should not be in public DNS servers, since they are by definition private addresses. I would certainly agree to have them in private DNS servers. They are not only used by engineers but by the whole internal network for host resolution as well. We generally go to great pains to hide our internal addressing from the public. Why should we then advertise it our DNS? Not to mention causing some of the unusal results that prompted the question in the first place.

Lot's of ISP's use RFC1918 addressing AND DNS entries for the management of broadband/adsl networks. Usually the ADSL/Cablemodem will obtain an RFC1918 address during it's bootp process. This is used by network engineers for SNMP and other diagnostic tools. It's kind of handy to have DNS entries for those. Sometimes the provider does not do a good job and allows those RFC1918 addresses to traverse the bridge so you might see them leaking across occassionally.
