That's fine, the owner name of the glue A/AAAA RR may be at any level
greater or equal than the zone to be delegated. But ...

... this test might fail in otherwise correct configurations. Unless
explicitly excluded, a glue RR may belong to a zone _below_ the delegated
one, so the servers of the delegated zone cannot be expected to
authoritatively know the A/AAAA RR(s). I'd not believe this is common in
e164.arpa, but than I'd also have thought there's no need for glue in that
domain in the first place ...

Yep. And the check should include the presence of mandatory glue RRs.
With a miced v4/v6 environment, would a name server with v6 only glue
be accepted (v4 only obviously is)?
How many glue RRs would be allowed per name server entry?
