Which is "128925.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa." when fed into a domain
name parser.  DNS escapes sequences are DECIMAL not OCTAL.  I suggest
that you log a bug report.

128/25.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa. == 128\04725.168.207.107.in-addr.arpa

RFC 1035

\DDD            where each D is a digit is the octet corresponding to
                the decimal number described by DDD.  The resulting
                octet is assumed to be text and is not checked for
                special meaning.

That said '/' is not special to DNS parsers and shouldn't need to be
converted to \DDD.
