tippecanoe-decode produces invalid geojson file

When I use tippecanoe-decode to convert mbtiles file to geojson file, like:

tippecanoe-decode cumberfldparallll.mbtiles 12 1151 1621 > tile.geojson

I get a geojson file that produces the following error message, when using http://geojsonlint.com/

Line 1: FeatureCollection object cannot contain a "properties" member
Line 2: Feature object cannot contain a "features" member
Line 2: GeoJSON features must have a type=feature member
Line 2: "geometry" member required

I've not been able to read the geojson file using OpenLayers, because of the "properties" member in the FeatureCollection object. If I remove themL

"properties": { "zoom": 12, "x": 1151, "y": 1621 }, "features": [
{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "properties": { "layer": "cumberfldparallll", "version": 2, "extent": 4096 },

I no longer get those error message in geojsonlint, and am able to read the file using OpenLayers. Is there a way of producing a mbtiles or geojson file with tippecanoe that does not have that information? I this an alternative standard for geojson?

Thanks

Start by reproducing the reported command with tippecanoe-decode on the referenced MBTiles tile and inspect the generated tile.geojson against the GeoJSON specification. Check how the decoder represents tile metadata and features, then verify the result with geojsonlint.com and OpenLayers. Done means the output is valid GeoJSON without requiring manual removal of members.
