yes the NSEC(3) chain will be broken then too; it will point to the
nonexistent ffinvalid name and not mention the now existing invalid name.

If you only want to create one bogus RRSIG for that name, and still have
everything else be correct, it is probably better to either change the
signature data in the RRSIG, or the rdata field of the ffinvalid record
(e.g. give ffinvalid A an address 192.0.2.1 and use sed to change it to
192.0.2.2, and similar for the AAAA) after signing.
