California exemptions not populating correctly?

I have a dependent.

 

If I answer the question on the federal dependent worksheet, "Is this person's gross income less than $5,050" with a "No"...then California exemption section lists the dependent one time and calculates one ("1")  exemption, valued at $461.

 

If I answer the question with a "Yes"...then TurboTax generates a federal Schedule 8812 and lists the dependent TWO TIMES on the California form 540 and calculates two ("2") exemptions for the same person.

 

I'm concerned that California Franchise Tax Board will frown on my listing the same person twice and taking two exemptions.

 

Does this sound right to you? Is this a bug? Or am I missing something?
