limit of function with dirac delta

Consider the following code:

sage.var(x)
f = (1-x) * sage.unit_step(x)
df = f.diff(x)    ->    -unit_step(x) + (1-x)*dirac_delta(x)

Trying to compute df.limit(x=0, dir="right"), which should return -1, but instead returns limit(-unit_step(x) + (1-x)*dirac_delta(x), x, 0, plus).

Even df.limit(x=0.5) return limit(-unit_step(x) + (1-x)*dirac_delta(x), x, 0.5) instead of -1.

Any idea on what might be going on? Thanks!
