I've filtered a 1 Hz sin wave excitation with a notch filter inside c1sus and c1rfm models. The biquad key is switched on in the last one, c1sus uses DF2. The results are indeed different.

Still I do not like huge (2n+1) harmonics in the output of the biquad filter, I do not get them in the simulations. They are absent in the time series as well. So this is not a psd-estimation effect.
