That's right, it's a feature of the system, based on the way the tournament rules are written:

Then QF1-3*, QF2-3*, QF3-3*, QF4-3*
Then any QF replays due to ties*
Then SF1-1, SF2-1, SF1-2, SF2-2, SF1-3*, SF2-3*
Then any SF replays due to ties*
Then F-1, F-2, F-3*
Then any F replays due to ties*
(* - if required)
(emphasis mine)

If you look at the match results for an event, you will see that QF1-1 is listed as being played after QF1-3, when the QF goes to more than 3 matches. However if QF-1 is a tie and then QF-2 and QF-3 are won by the same alliance, the tie result is shown.
