Oh yes, this problem is caused by
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3972
aka
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/12
aka
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47564

FreeIPA is using string manipulations for DNS data but DNS data are generally
not strings, so weird things happen (sometimes).


Did you find a way to modify the record using CLI? (e.g. using space instead
of \032)?
