It is because the first note in the first chord
carries the visible accidental, but not in the
second chord.  If you rewrite the order of the notes
in the second chord like this <a'!-1 fs-3 d'-2> so
the note with the natural sign comes first the
fingerings are placed correctly.

This bug was first reported in

and the bug is issue 728 in the tracker
