    Well the strange thing is it should be not indexed because of the 301. However I found a solution to this:

    • First create a disallow and noindex robots.txt; save this in the main wp folder and name it something like robots-subdomains.txt:
    • User-agent: *
      Disallow: /

      User-agent: Googlebot
      Noindex: /

    • In htaccess rewrites of the subdomains to this extra robots.txt file:
    • RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =subdomain1.example.com
      RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ /robots-subdomains.txt [L]

    • Add all subdomains to your google webmaster tools (tools will find the noindex of the robots file and give warning)
    • In webmaster tools ask google to delete the url from the index
    • Within a few days all false indexed subdomains are gone from google search
