CANCEL ATTRIBUTE/OUTPUT fails for pseudo-variable with explicit dataset number

CANCEL ATTRIBUTE/OUTPUT seems to have no effect on the NetCDF output for pseudovariables that refer to an explicit dataset number (which is often the case for pseudovariables).

In the following example, the output dataset b.nc still has the (ZAXLEVITR).point_spacing attribute, despite our telling Ferret to suppress it. And where did the extra (ZAXLEVITR).axis attribute come from?

        NOAA/PMEL TMAP
        FERRET v6.7  
        Linux rh5 (gfortran) 2.6.18-238.1.1.el5P - 05/06/11

yes? use levitus_climatology
yes? let a = temp[x=`@ave`,y=`@ave`]
yes? let b = temp[x=`@ave`,y=`@ave`,d=1]
yes? can att/output (`a,r=zaxis`).point_spacing
 !-> can att/output (ZAXLEVITR).point_spacing
yes? save/q/clob/file="a.nc"/bounds a
yes? sp ncdump -h a.nc | grep "ZAXLEVITR:"
                ZAXLEVITR:units = "METERS" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:positive = "down" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:bounds = "ZAXLEVITR_bnds" ;
yes? save/q/clob/file="b.nc"/bounds b
yes? sp ncdump -h b.nc | grep "ZAXLEVITR:"
                ZAXLEVITR:units = "METERS" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:positive = "down" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:point_spacing = "uneven" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:axis = "Z" ;
                ZAXLEVITR:bounds = "ZAXLEVITR_bnds" ;
