They can do that even if you don’t set a PTR record... since they own the domain, they can get a certificate for it. The danger comes not because you set a PTR record, but because you use that domain at all.

Really, this is the same risk you take with any registrar... they could give the domain to someone else, or alter the DNS to give themselves a cert. This is basically making has-a.name your domain registrar, and you have to trust them to not behave poorly or have bad security.
