Odd; this is not the behavior I get. I just tried on a structure and got
this cycling:
,-----
| * top
| ** next
| *** next
| - [x] item 1  --> [ ]  --> [x]
| - [ ] item 2  --> [ ]  --> [x]

`-----

So... it seems to be working for me, though I was not sure based on the
docstring whether "taking as reference the first item in subtree" meant it
would toggle the rest to be like it or everything to be the opposite of it.
It appears it's the latter definition.

Maybe provide your version? I'm using 7.4.
