MC-52844 is a bug that claims you cannot fill nether portals - which you can.
That is not this bug.
Please read carefully the description that I included, as sometimes unrelated bugs can have similar titles.

This bug pertains solely to fill replace - and the fact the filling a portal defaults to destroy (shatters) even when you put replace in the command. This is unlike the standard of the command used with other blocks.

This did not happen in 1.12. In the previous version of Minecraft, the portal block would be replaced without shattering when the fill replace command was issued.

Thank you. I expect your swift reopening of this bug as it is clearly not a duplicate of and issue that does not exist,.

Can confirm in 21w06a. Here are some steps to reproduce this issue just to make life easier:

Steps to Reproduce:

Run the following commands:

/fill ~1 ~ ~ ~4 ~4 ~ minecraft:obsidian
/fill ~3 ~1 ~ ~2 ~3 ~ minecraft:air
/setblock ~2 ~1 ~ minecraft:fire
/fill ~3 ~1 ~ ~2 ~3 ~ minecraft:air replace minecraft:nether_portal

→ ❌ Notice how upon running the final command, breaking particles and sounds can be heard from the nether portal.
