There is no bug and old version do exactly the same thing.
You have just created a "common to units" rectangle.
If you want to have different graphic items for each element, they 
properties must have the "common to units" unchecked.
Obviously "Edit pin element by element" has no effect to graphics items.
This tool control the pin edition (when activated pins at the same 
location can be moved or deleted separately for each element)

Please, see Eeschema doc chap 11.5.1

Value and reference (like all others fields) can be moved on a element 
per element basis in schematic only.
In Libedit there are only an unique item.
