It's not a bug - it's the nature of using the snipping tool, which embeds the pasted image in the PDF itself. The page order is just an instruction for the order in which to display pages. If you enter "1,1", for example, you are going to see the same instance of page 1 of the PDF. If modify page 1 of the PDF itself, that change is going to show up on both instances of page 1. Annotations stored in the MobileSheets database (any annotation created not using the snipping tool) do not behave this way, as I save different annotations per instance of a page.
So how do you avoid this issue? On the "Rearrange pages" screen, tap the three dots at the top right and select "Update PDF with Current Page Order". The page order will then be flattened (in my example, "1,1" becomes "1-2"), and the underlying PDF will be modified. This will give you completely separate instances of every page, so you can use the snipping tool to modify PDF pages and it will not impact any other page.
