That's correct, this is actually a bug we repaired recently and queued
for DHCP maintenance releases (it is also a bug when doing ddns
updates for the same client across protocol versions).  It's in
4.0.2b1, not sure about 4.1.1b1 or 3.1 maint.  

I think the check should actually be "does any RR other than DHCID
exist on this name?" rather than specifically for neither AAAA nor
A, but I do not think DNS update protocol has the language to describe
that.

We hope to start on this sometime after the current ddns update code
rework.  The main obstacle is nailing down the migration model.

We also have some other ddns update 'styles' in mind, using the RFC's
permissive language to facilitate some other use cases.

No, we're currently using the same DHCPv4 routines.
