If you are talking about BGPSEC as currently proposed, this can't happen.
The definition of validity of a PATH_SIG is that valid signatures exactly
correspond to AS_PATH data.

See: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol-02#section-5.1

Once again, given the encoding of AS_PATH directly in PATH_SIG attribute,
the exact scenario is moot (a BGPSEC update will never contain both
AS_PATH and PATH_SIG attributes), but the spirit is the same, the
validation algorithm will return "Invalid"
