Actual results:
[root@ipaqavmh ipa-dns]# ipa dnsrecord-del newzone1 as
  Record name: as

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2011-01-19 22:53:58 UTC 
A wild guess but I wonder if it wants the -a-rec 3.4.5.6 included.

Can you verify that this works (or doesn't):

ipa dnsrecord-del newzone1 as --a-rec 3.4.5.6

I guess the expectation would be that all records for machine 'as' would be removed, regardless of type?
Comment 2 Michael Gregg 2011-01-19 23:18:37 UTC 
You were right, adding the --a-rec 3.4.5.6 removed the a record. 

I suppose that this makes sense in that you may want to delete a specific entry within a entry. 

This may just end up being a doc bug. I'll have to think about what the behavior should be.

At the very least, some better examples in the help section would be great.

Tacking either decision.
