I checked the sources, and it is not a bug. Rather a missing feature.

I agree that it would be expected.
On the other hand, it would not be trivial to implement.
Consider, for example,
#+include: chapter-1.org
#+include: chapter-2.org :lines 2-20
What should we do in such situation?
In addition, there could be duplicates in heading names and a link that
would otherwise be unique as <file:chapter-2.org::*Heading 1> may no
longer be, after we include multiple files, if another included file
also contains * Heading 1.
Note also that the reference is not broken - the reference should still
be valid.
