Well, while centering a MMR the question is "center between which items?"
Default LilyPond centers between left and right break-alignment.
That's what's done and what you see.
So no bug, but intended.

Nevertheless you can change this behaviour by applying
[\once]
\override MultiMeasureRest.spacing-pair = #'(staff-bar . staff-bar)
as stated in the IR.
