Cannot create Bitbucket repository in team as developer using API

Question

I have a Bitbucket account named myaccount. I am a developer of a team named ateam which does not belong to me. I am not an admin of this team. Developers have their permissions set to create repositories in ateam. I am able to manually create a repository in ateam through bitbucket website's UI. However I am unable to do so using bitbucket's API:

$ curl -X POST -v -u myaccount:mypasswd https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/ateam/rep1 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"is_private": true}'    
Enter host password for user 'myaccount':

I have forbidden access.

Now the owner of ateam made me the team's administrator. Since then I am able to create a repository in ateam with the very same command as above:

$ curl -X POST -v -u myaccount:mypasswd https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/ateam/rep1 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"is_private": true}' 

The point is I need to create a repository using the API as a developer, not as an admin. It works using the website's GUI but not through the API: Despite having permissions to create repositories, developers are forbidden to do so using the API. So do we have a bug here? If not, am I missing something?

EDIT 1

Here is a screenshot of the Developer's permissions on the team. As one can see, they are supposed to be able to create a repository.

Bitbucket developer here. I agree that that is a bug. And I am actually personally responsible for it :(. So, apologies for that.

I have made a fix and it will be deployed in the next deploy (probably this Tuesday).

Kind regards.
