I don't think it's a bug, but it could be implemented better. 

If you have the same kit on three channels and you want to save changes on one channel, saving will affect the preset on all channels because, well, it's the same preset.

It's just a lot easier to use a different preset on each channel. This is where preset templates + automation come in handy (not to mention good habits re: saving and preset naming. I name each multi after a colour and save the related presets with the same colour name).

It's a bit of effort initially, but necessary if you want full control...
