This is a known bug in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964

I have talked to the company about it, and its position is that this
is intended behaviour so that the same bootable drive will work on
both BIOS and UEFI computers, or on a single machine regardless of
whether the firmware is configured to "UEFI boot", "legacy boot", or
both in either order.
