Idle scan problems on OS X

I have a problem doing idle scans, when using a custom zombie probe port when the zombie host specification is a bit long. It seems smaller zombie specifcations works, like zombie.org: sudo nmap -Pn -v --top-ports 10 -sI zombie.org:21 target Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-11-21 11:24 CET Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24, 0.01s elapsed Initiating idle scan against target (....) at 11:24 Idle scan using zombie zombie.org (....); Class: Incremental ... but longer ones like 100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org don't: sudo nmap -Pn -v --top-ports 10 -sI 100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org:21 target Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-11-21 11:24 CET Initiating Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24 Completed Parallel DNS resolution of 1 host. at 11:24, 0.00s elapsed Initiating idle scan against target (....) at 11:24 Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Illegal character(s) in hostname -- replacing with '*' Could not resolve idle scan zombie host "100-43-221-189.static-ip.foo.zombie.org@?*": nodename nor servname provided, or not known QUITTING! This bug has been fixed for Linux [1], but maybe not for OS X? I'm using OS X 10.10.
