Can you provide a step-by-step description of how you found this error? I just tried it and the damage modifier progresses as I expected: 3d+2, 4d-1, 4d, 4d+1, 4d+2, 5d-1, etc.
I suspect you had unselected the "direct" modifier, which makes the damage "indirect". From the Incantation Magic PDF, page 15:

Indirect damage is triple that of direct damage for the same cost (e.g., a 3d+3 reball costs +1 SP) – or just doubled if it is also explosive (e.g., a 2d+2 explosive reball costs +1 SP).

Triple damage progresses like 3d, 4d-1, 4d+2, 5d+1, 6d, etc.
