An issue with GitHub Pages settings

I have a site that uses GitHub Pages - offlineapps.info. It used to not serve an HTTPS certificate, but I moved the DNS around today so it is now pointing to GitHub Pages using an ANAME.

The SSL certificate works fine (and Let's Encrypt is a great addition to GitHub Pages), but the UI has a slight issue. I go to the repos Settings page and see this...

So I tick the box. A green tick appears.

Let's say I untick the box (quite why I'd not want HTTPS, I'm not sure). I get this.

If I refresh the page, the checkbox is unticked and the green tick has gone away.

It is a very minor thing, but I just thought I'd let GitHub know.
