If you definitely already have a primary partition, then it's certainly a bug that it tried to create another one when you asked it to create a logical partition. However, it's not a bug that I've ever seen myself, so I will need some guidance on how to recreate it.
There's no way to tell which BIOS is which in any reasonable way, and ensuring at least one primary partition (which is all we do) is not harmful elsewhere (unlike ignoring an explicit direction to create a logical partition, which is obviously wrong). However, I wasn't very precise earlier - we only do this for automatic partitioning.
