This is very strange support of alwayson.

This seems to be a Microsoft limitation as per - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh245119.aspx

Verbatim from the above KB -

• BACKUP DATABASE supports only copy-only full backups of databases, files, or filegroups when it is executed on secondary replicas. Note that copy-only backups do not impact the log chain or clear the differential bitmap.

As you can see, even MS does not support full backups of the secondary node. It supports only copy backup.
