localhost.localdomain shows up in show config diff

If I enter config changes, set the cli config output to set and compare with running config, it seems I get some extra keywords in my output. The output line does not work to repaste back into the cli, creating extra steps to generate a "patch" config to apply later and not disrupt interim chnages (as long as they don't directly conflict)

example:

testpanoadmin@Panorama# set device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE from any to any service service-https action allow

[edit] 
testpanoadmin@Panorama# run set cli config-output-format set
[edit] 
testpanoadmin@Panorama# run show config diff
set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules EW-AllowAll action allow
set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules EW-AllowAll log-start yes
set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules EW-AllowAll log-end yes
+set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE from any
+set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE to any
+set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE service service-https
+set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE action allow

The "config devices localhost.localdomain" causes a syntax error if I were to try to paste it back in.

testpanoadmin@Panorama# revert config

All changes were reverted from configuration

[edit] 
testpanoadmin@Panorama# set config devices localhost.localdomain device-group East-West pre-rulebase security rules SOME_TEST_RULE from any

Invalid syntax.

testpanoadmin@Panorama#

I think this is some artifact of the API call that happens behind the scenes, but is there any way to suppress this from the normal CLI?
