Ah yes it's a "known" issue we have problems demoting DC which have 
replicated DNS partitions, I already asked some feedback from Microsoft 
on this issue.

You have to know that we still have some issues in replication as we 
don't setup all the record 100% like MS AD DC does.

Please file a bug report in our bugzilla but resolution might take a bit.
