Hmm, could you provide a reproducer for the problem?  Here's what I
tried with the current master (afd75d05a), Emacs 27.1, and no custom
configuration.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* a
a content
* b
b content
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

 - on "a", C-c C-x b  ;; org-tree-to-indirect-buffer
   Displays <file>-a-1 buffer.

 - move to "b", C-u C-c C-x b
   Displays <file>-b-1 buffer, a-1 buffer still exists.
