Regular negatives returned as display negatives

[MdV]

Hi API team,

For about a dozen of our clients' accounts the DISPLAY_KEYWORD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is returning data for a few of the regular negatives in the account. This started april 10th and also happens with accounts that don't have any display campaigns at all.

SOAP headers:
    <reportDefinition xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201502">
        <ns2:selector>
            <ns2:fields>Id</ns2:fields>
