Master page mystery

Hi
I have just detected a little mystery related to master pages. This is what
I do:
1. Create a new, double-sided file.
2. On the Left master page, I insert a page number and I use a dedicated
paratag ("footerleft") which I use on this Left master page only.
3. I add some content to my body pages to get more than one page.
4. I choose Format > Page Layout > Pagination and switch to a
single-sided document.
5. I look at my master pages and I just see 1 master page: Right (1 of
1).
6. I search for the paratag ("footerleft") which I used on the Left
master page and ... FrameMaker can still find it! In my "status bar" I see:
¶: footerleft | Left (0 of 1)
I guess the only way to get rid of this "ghost" Left master page is to dive
into the MIF file and remove it there? I have tried this and this seems to
work, but I see that the paragraph with the "footerleft" tag then appears at
the top of my Right master page.
Weird!
