Google kml writer creates duplicate <multigeometry> tag for multi-part or multipolygons. Is this expected ?

I have attached a sample kml that has a duplicate <multigeometry> tag which seems rather redundant

Some observations here:

I noticed that the aggregate geometry in kml is in 3D.

I tried getting the 3D multipolygon to 2D into a dgn file format and then wrote it back to KML using FME.

I did not find any duplicate <multigeometry> tag in the output kml file.

With the tab file sample data, I used a deaggregator transformer and the extra multigeometry tag is gone.
