Dig does not and cannot report the activation and inactivation
time, so it is hard to see how one might expect anything in dig
output to agree with either time.

RRsigs report the signature validity interval which should start
some time after activation, and though generally will end before
inactivation, may even end after inactivation, if the key inactivation
time was set (as in Carsten's notes) sufficiently close to that date,
that existing RRsigs may already be in place that outlive the key
inactivation.

The initial time of an RRsig will never be outside (activation,
inactivation) interval, but the final time may lie just beyond.
