Where did you get that version of dig?  I'm guessing it's part of
dnsutils?

The problem is that the query you're generated is using bitlabels
while your zone file is using nibbles (as it should.)

The version in sarge (9.2.4-1) and sid (9.3.1-2) both do the
right thing for me:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;7.5.0.f.7.a.e.f.f.f.5.b.0.1.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa.
IN PTR

I suggest you upgrade.
