This is probably just because portals don’t generate in the nether exactly where they are supposed to. If, for instance, the place where one “should” be is over a lava lake, it will instead generate on a nearby part of the landscape, which can mean that it goes far enough away to generate a new portal.
In short, it isn’t a bug, just a potentially annoying feature.

Its not that. i will make a portal in the overworld, step in and can literally turn around to the portal generated in the nether and end up in a new(not user created) portal in the overworld a chunk or 2 away from the original one I created.
The above comment of mine was in error. I just realized i had to be 1064 blocks away in the overworld for a new nether portal to be generated. not 8 chunks.

Also portals in the overworld link to the same nether portal even when 10 or more chunks away .
