If you try it again you get the error "user-error: Cannot toggle this checkbox (uncheccked subitems?)".  If the checkbox has an "[X]" for complete, "C-u C-u C-c C-c" will also set the entire list to partial.

Calling C-c C-c with an argument on the first item of a list or sub-list
will apply the change on every item in the list. It looks consistent
with what you get.

What did you expect instead ?
