Disabling nodepool autoscaling by setting an explicit scale, leave the nodepool configuration invalid

on a nodepool with Autoscaling Enabled, "oc scale nodepool" command is disabling Autoscaling, but leavs an invalis configuration with Autoscaling info that should have been cleared.   

  (.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc version
Client Version: 4.14.14
Kustomize Version: v5.0.1
Server Version: 4.14.14
Kubernetes Version: v1.27.10+28ed2d7
(.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ 
  

  happens all the time  

     1. deploy a hub cluster with 3 master nodes, and 0 workers, on it, a hostedcluster with 6 nodes(I've used this job to deploy: https://auto-jenkins-csb-kniqe.apps.ocp-c1.prod.psi.redhat.com/job/CI/job/job-runner/2431/)
    
2. (.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc -n clusters patch nodepool hosted-0 --type=json -p '[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/replicas"},{"op":"add", "path": "/spec/autoScaling", "value": { "max": 6, "min": 6 }}]'
nodepool.hypershift.openshift.io/hosted-0 patched
(.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc get nodepool -A
NAMESPACE   NAME       CLUSTER    DESIRED NODES   CURRENT NODES   AUTOSCALING   AUTOREPAIR   VERSION   UPDATINGVERSION   UPDATINGCONFIG   MESSAGE
clusters    hosted-0   hosted-0                   6               True          False        4.14.14                                      



3. scale to 2 nodes in the nodepool: (.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc scale nodepool/hosted-0 --namespace clusters --kubeconfig ~/clusterconfigs/auth/hub-kubeconfig --replicas=2
nodepool.hypershift.openshift.io/hosted-0 scaled
(.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc get nodepool -A
NAMESPACE   NAME       CLUSTER    DESIRED NODES   CURRENT NODES   AUTOSCALING   AUTOREPAIR   VERSION   UPDATINGVERSION   UPDATINGCONFIG   MESSAGE
clusters    hosted-0   hosted-0   2               6               False         False        4.14.14         

4. and after scaledown ends :
(.venv) [kni@ocp-edge77 ocp-edge-auto_cluster]$ oc get nodepool -A
