acme plugin creating incorrect TXT record

I ran into an issue with the acme plugin recently. When it creates a TXT record on Cloudflare, it does so with a name of subdomain (my internal hosts are hostname.subdomain.domain). When Let's Encrypt later checks for the TXT record, it's looking for a record named _acme-challenge.hostname.subdomain and thus fails to validate. I worked around this by setting a DNS Sleep Time of 60s in the challenge, quickly changing the TXT record name during that period of time, and letting it run as normal. This is a previously working installation of the acme plugin.

Has anyone seen this behavior before? I didn't find any matching forum topics or open issues in GitHub.
