It's not clear to to me it shouldn't be the case. AFAIU, the point of
`org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels' is not to skip TODO entries but to
limit the tasks you can process at a time.

You can use a dedicated function in `org-agenda-skip-function' for that
(e.g., ignore task if one of its parents is a done task).
