I’m not sure whether it’s a limitation or a policy, but it’s definitely not a UI bug.

The method you refer to is perfectly fine (both technically and with regards to the terms of service), but does not create multiple forks. The new repo created in step 2 is not registered as a fork in github. This means you cannot create pull requests between this repo and upstream.
