As is shown,I login as u-mx_3 (CREATEROLE,NOCREATEDB),and I can't create DB;
However,I can create a role with the pri CREATEDB,and it works!!

So, why a role with NOCREATEDB can create a role who can create DB?

Cannot answer why but given it is documented as working this way this isn’t a bug.

“ Be careful with the CREATEROLE privilege. There is no concept of inheritance for the privileges of a CREATEROLE-role. That means that even if a role does not have a certain privilege but is allowed to create other roles, it can easily create another role with different privileges than its own (except for creating roles with superuser privileges)”

Yeah, that's deliberate.  CREATEROLE is intended to be sufficient
privilege for all day-to-day user/role administration, so that you
don't have to use a superuser bit for that.  The only restriction
on it is you can't manufacture new superuser roles ... but you
definitely can manufacture roles that have other privileges you
don't have yourself.  In particular, a CREATEROLE role can issue
GRANTs for privileges it doesn't have itself; so the behavior with
respect to CREATEDB isn't different from that.
