[dns-operations] Edge-case, zero-length DNSKEYs

After an algorithm rollover (RSA 8 -> ECDSA P256 13) a couple of days
backs, two domains now have new zero-length RSA 8 KSKs, along with
working new ECDSA KSKs:

    https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/explore/?nlagriculture.nl
    https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/explore/?nlenergyandclimatechange.nl

It isn't only the RSA modulus that is empty, but rather the entire
DNSKEY key value (exponent length, exponent, modulus):

    nlagriculture.nl. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8  ; NoError
    nlagriculture.nl. IN DNSKEY 257 3 13 vRMOgGXuo/Ra...Yj7dpYrzWOg== ; NoError
    nlagriculture.nl. IN DNSKEY 256 3 8 AwEAAfc58Rv7...6fPPDdZJ/tfj ; NoError
    nlagriculture.nl. IN DNSKEY 256 3 8 AwEAAeBjJKDZ...pOKqfoFAnmx1 ; NoError

    nlenergyandclimatechange.nl. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8  ; NoError
    nlenergyandclimatechange.nl. IN DNSKEY 257 3 13 SURx8TOW5B07...liYpu7BmE0w== ; NoError
    nlenergyandclimatechange.nl. IN DNSKEY 256 3 8 AwEAAb2AbhJT...ppErUsfvCMGtv ; NoError
    nlenergyandclimatechange.nl. IN DNSKEY 256 3 8 AwEAAaeQDrF0...u3IdA2xzSiqZF ; NoError

Unbound validates the DNSKEY RRset just fine, but these give DNSViz some indigestion:

    https://dnsviz.net/d/nlagriculture.nl/X3yhPg/dnssec/
    https://dnsviz.net/d/nlenergyandclimatechange.nl/X3yhXg/dnssec/

the graphs fail to display.  I wonder whether any other tools
(especially resolvers) have difficulties with these...
