It's not ignoring the protocol to  implement some basic safety checking,
it's completely valid to refuse a zone transfer because it may result in
expected behavior; a slave shouldn't accept  DNSSEC records if it doesn't
have the ability to serve them correctly either. Otherwise the zone may end
up black-holed.  Much better to ask an administrator to intervene and fix
 the situation.
