[auto-dnssec] Switching to NSEC3 leaves behind stale NSEC signatures?

I have a zone maintained by:

        inline-signing yes;
	auto-dnssec maintain;
        update-policy local; 

I switched it from the default NSEC to NSEC3 with:

rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10  68f499ee auto.rd.nic.fr

It seems to work but the zone still contains NSEC signatures (but no
NSEC records):

auto.rd.nic.fr.		86400	IN	RRSIG	NSEC 8 4 86400 20130829140232 20130730135801 53989 auto.rd.nic.fr.

Some checking tools complain. For instance, validns:

auto.rd.nic.fr:8: auto.rd.nic.fr. RRSIG exists for non-existing type NSEC

Is it a bug? Or did I use the wrong procedure to switch to NSEC3?
