Interesting. This is controlled mostly by two files,
/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.[state|index]

Before deleting everything in /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore I'd suggest
seeing what, if any other files remain (these are the backed-up files)
and what the contents of the state/index are to see if something was not
restored.

I'd also ensure that /etc/ipa/default.conf and /etc/ipa/ca.crt are not
present.
