OpenStack Wallaby Neutron unable to update Designate zone

Question

So … I'm trying to get neutron to update designate zones. There initially wasn't any issue with OpenStack Victoria, but trying to update to (or install a fresh) OpenStack Wallaby turned this into a dead-end.

I've deployed both OpenStack Victoria and OpenStack Wallaby the exact same way with kolla-ansible, some configuration changes but for the neutron and designate configuration there hasn't been any changes - so regular old neutron with linuxbridge and designate with bundled bind9 server.

Set the network_vlan_ranges in order to create a vlan-network instead of a VXLAN later on for testing. ml2_conf.ini in /etc/kolla/config/neutron is set to

[ml2_type_vlan]
network_vlan_ranges = physnet1

Commands used:

kolla-ansible -i all-in-one bootstrap-servers
kolla-ansible -i all-in-one deploy
kolla-ansible -i all-in-one post-deploy
source /etc/kolla/admin-openrc.sh
init-runonce
openstack zone create "virt.xc." --email "post@xc"

Deleted the demo-net and router from init-runonce through Horizon, then recreated them as VLAN in the Horizon-Admin section to not hit this requirement:

network types VLAN, GRE, VXLAN or GENEVE, the segmentation ID must be outside the ranges assigned to project networks

Set the DNS-domain for demo-net to virt.xc. by openstack network set demo-net --dns-domain "virt.xc.".

kolla_base_distro: "ubuntu"
kolla-install_type: "source"
enable_haproxy: "no"
enable_designate: "yes"
enable_neutron_provider_segments: "yes"
enable_neutron_segments: "yes"
neutron_plugin_agent: "linuxbridge"

Running

openstack server create \\
    --image cirros \\
    --flavor m1.tiny \\
    --key-name mykey \\
    --network demo-net \\
    demo1

on OpenStack Victoria deployed with git kolla-ansible stable/victoria works fine and creates an A-record of demo1.virt.xc..

Wallaby (deployed with git kolla-ansible stable/wallaby) however straight up refuses to create an A-record in the virt.xc.-zone for the newly created VM demo1. It is just never created.

All is done in an Ubuntu 20.04-VM with 12 GiB memory, 4 cpus and nested virtualization enabled, for an all-in-one-deployment before migrating my 4-node cluster.

Am I missing something here? I can provide logs and additional configuration files (from kolla-ansible -i all-in-one genconfig) if necessary.

As was discussed in the Launchpad bug tracker here (1954384), this has been introduced in Wallaby as

[ml2_type_vlan]
network_vlan_ranges = physnet1

now (neutron-lib changeset (779515)) registers for vlan range 1..4094 instead of [], which makes Neutron automatically not register that network in DNS. Resolution is creating a really small project tenant network vlan range (physnet1:1:2) or use subnet-dns-publish-fixed-ip instead with openstack subnet set subnet-name --dns-publish-fixed-ip.
