Management API Import API proxy with action=validate creates an API proxy?

[bdmdbrapi]

I am using the Management API to validate an API proxy bundle before importing it, but this causes the API proxy to be created? Using the API call documented here: Import a new API Proxy, with action=validate. The call returns 201 Created, and in the UI the proxy is listed with no revisions, but a red exclamation mark stating the proxy should be deleted since it has no revisions.

This was not what I expected from action=validate. I expected no changes or updates in Apigee?

Are you experiencing same issue? And do you have any workarounds?
