Well, since the features added would be part of the work for which the
GPLv3 "will continue to apply", they will be GPLv3.

Any changes which can be isolated to a part covered by the GPLv3 will be
GPLv3. Only such changes as apply to the parts covered by the AGPL or
the work as a whole (i.e., glue connecting the two parts) will be AGPL.

At least that's how I read it.
