Civ KOTH countdown still runs after manually starting fac koth (/koth start)

I started a Faction KOTH (Warlord perk /koth start), but the countdown messages "Civilization KOTH starts in 1 minute" etc still appeared, even though the Faction KOTH was already running at that point. The civ KOTH did not start (It was cancelled by the active faction KOTH) but the countdown messages still show up as if the civ KOTH was going to start.
