We are aware of some issues in this area, but feel free to file a bug. We are focussing on getting 4.0 out at the moment, but I would like to have a force demote utility in the future, as well as sorting these issues out. To do it properly (particularly live) is actually quite difficult, there are a lot of steps that should be done to ensure the DC being demoted has no FSMO roles left and knows it is demoted.
