The nmap zone returns multiples of two TXT answers and each pair of

nmap zone weren't ordered making it difficult to consistently detect
which answer relates to the origin ASN and which to the peer ASN(s) in
certain cases (such as multiple origin answers and peer answers
containing a single ASN).

Yes, it would be impossible to tell them apart when there is only one
peer ASN. I have a feeling that this is a bug because the majority of
the time the two results are ordered origin->peer.

I'll send an email to Team Cymru asking for their advice.

Cheers,
Michael
