There indeed was an error in applying NCS edits to other chains.  I
thought that I'd fixed that for 0.1.2.  Which version are you running?

That's not it, I'd guess.

There is no straightforward way in coot to do this.  You can mess with
copy-molecule and applying an R/T op to each copy, then merge molecules
(I've not tried to do that).  Using pdbset to generate the other
molecules?  You'd need to then "concat and edit" the resulting pdb files
- bleugh.
