For now, the only workaround is to set TTL explicitly for all affected DNS 
names. Sorry!

$ ipa dnsrecord-mod --help | grep ttl
   --ttl=INT             Time to live

The most important thing is that SOA TTL is not related to default record TTL 
by definition.

Some details are described here:

Have a nice day.
