This is not a bug but a feature!
It's exactly correct.
The type=10 key signals that the file has been deleted and all the other
attribute keys are set to zero since they have no meaning.

If you didn't have such a "blocking" entry, then previous versions of
the file would show through, since files otherwise inherit the
visibility of previous incremental backups.
