I think the problem is interpretation.

There are very few reasons you would create the equivalent of a box set'

1.  Multiple movies in one case (true box set)
2. A bonus movie that is included with the main (Think 2008 version of the Day the earth stood still, which included the 1951 version as a bonus) (Bonus Feature Film Rule)
3. Single Movie, multiple media (applies as bonus feature film)
4 the addition of bonus material in a box set as long as the bonus disc pertains to more than 1 movie

I downloaded and looked at the profile that you mention.  It contains the Feature on disc 1 and then has 2 bonus discs.

In my opinion, by a strict interpretation of the rules, this does not qualify in any of the above scenarios.

The box set should be removed.  In the disc section list all 3 discs, and put the features into the feature section of the profile.

There should not be a need of an original titles for the disc profile, because the disc level profile is not necessary.

I have been away for a while because the arguments here have become a bit much...but to answer the question, the ONLY time we create a child profile for bonus material is if it is a Bonus Feature Film:
Quote:
The term "Bonus Feature Film" is used to define any feature film that is included as part of the bonus material for a single release. These are not the same as Double Features or Anthology Collections which are a collection of films grouped together which require the "Box Set" contribution rules. Do not confuse "Bonus Feature Films" with "Any video documentary material regarding the film, or those associated with it."

Note the bolded part.  If the second and third disc contain anything listed in the chart on the page this rule is on, per the first line on the page, we are to "Use the Features check boxes..."

That being said, the purpose of the Original Title field is to allow "for the tracking of the original feature title."  The original feature title is NOT 'Hellboy: Disc 1', it's 'Hellboy'.  So if you allow the child profile, you must allow the original title.

Seems fairly straightforward to me.  But what do I know. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
