i.e. If it is a bug, it could only be one two things:
1) The game doesn't realise the offer is what the player asked for
2) The game is displaying the players demands wrongly
And here's my theory!
Something happens between the offer being made and the AI accepting/rejecting that causes the demands to go up - talent bump, rescout, passing of service time barrier, artificial check, bigger sample size of stats, could be anything! - so that when the player asked for the contract, he thought he was worth £8mil per, but a few days later when he came to decide, he thought he was worth $11mil per.
Perhaps freezing 'evaluations' when an offer is submitted might be an idea, or having a special news response 'I changed my mind, I want more'.

Ideally, the greediest players might come back with a 'I changed my mind, I want more' but it should be rare and
never take the form of just repeating the lower offer.
I agree with your analysis -- one of those hypotheses is true. Then, on top of that, the AI does have players change their demands at some point, and it happened to be during these protracted negotiations. This never came up in 6.5 because offer and reponse were instantaneous.
