While it may seem redundant, I'd say the easiest interpretation is that yes, all AD content should also be captioned - if something's spoken (regardless of whether it's the original video's audio, or additional AD), caption it, as I don't think there's enough normative text that would warrant a more nuanced "but surely the AD is redundant since they can see the visuals" logical exemption (though I may be wrong?)
