Sql-server – DBCC CloneDatabase – sys.partitions rows value wrong

I'm using DBCC CLONEDATABASE to create a shell of a schema.

One of the side-effects of the new shell clone database is that I left with wrong values at sys.partitions.
as a matter of fact, the values of the row column are the ones I had in the source database.

1. Do you know if this a bug or "as designed"?
2. Do you know any other way to "refresh" the sys.partitions DMV without running TRUNCATE to all tables?

Code to reproduce –

USE [master];
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 1 FROM sys.databases D WHERE D.name = 'CloneDBIssue')
BEGIN
    DROP DATABASE [CloneDBIssue];
END
GO
IF EXISTS(SELECT TOP 1 1 FROM sys.databases D WHERE D.name = 'CloneDBIssue_Clone')
BEGIN
    DROP DATABASE [CloneDBIssue_Clone];
END
GO 
CREATE DATABASE [CloneDBIssue];
GO
USE [CloneDBIssue];
GO
--13213
SELECT  M.message_id,
        M.language_id,
        M.severity,
        M.is_event_logged,
        M.text
INTO    dbo.CDB_messages
FROM    sys.messages M
WHERE   M.language_id = 1033;
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX CIX ON dbo.CDB_messages(message_id);
GO 
SELECT  'After Insert - Source DB' [Title],
        object_id,
        index_id,
        rows
FROM    sys.partitions
WHERE   OBJECT_ID('dbo.CDB_messages') = OBJECT_ID
        AND index_id IN (0,1);
GO
DBCC CLONEDATABASE (CloneDBIssue, CloneDBIssue_Clone);
GO
USE master
GO
DROP DATABASE CloneDBIssue;
GO
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [CloneDBIssue_Clone] SET  READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT;
GO

        rows

WHERE   OBJECT_ID('dbo.CDB_messages') = OBJECT_ID
        AND index_id IN (0,1);
GO 
INSERT dbo.CDB_messages
VALUES (0,0,0,0,N'');
GO
SELECT  'After Insert - Target DB' [Title],
        object_id,
        index_id,
        rows
FROM    sys.partitions
WHERE   OBJECT_ID('dbo.CDB_messages') = OBJECT_ID
        AND index_id IN (0,1);

GO

GO
SELECT  'After DELETE - Target DB' [Title],
        object_id,
        index_id,
        rows
FROM    sys.partitions
WHERE   OBJECT_ID('dbo.CDB_messages') = OBJECT_ID
        AND index_id IN (0,1);
GO 
TRUNCATE TABLE dbo.CDB_messages;
GO
SELECT  'After TRUNCATE - Target DB' [Title],
        object_id,
        index_id,
        rows
