Series Relationship weirdness

A couple of weird things I came across when adding a series relationship today (possibly my first time doing so?):

1) If you go to add a relationship, the popup reads "Search for a related publisher series" even though I was not working with a "publisher series".

2) If I select the relationship "Is a sequel to", and then hit the "Flip Relationship" button, the result is "Contains the subseries". Not sure how the opposite of "B is a sequel to A" is somehow "A contains B"?

If it matters at all, the series I was working with is: https://www.librarything.com/nseries/332348/Black-Cat-2020

1. Fixed.

2. It's not ideal, but basically it flips the two and resets the menu. (In fact, it's a different menu, in the same place.) FWIW, this is a judgement call. While I see the value of fixing it, I think it's an edge case, and I'd rather not add special JavaScript here that will likely fail in some other edge case.
