Actual results:
macvtap device always add

Expected results:
choose NO do not add the device

Additional info:
1.I found  the macvtap device will create once you click "Finish"  , actually device has created  before you choose Yes or No.

I've cloned it to upstream as I could reproduce there, and given the severity of the bug, I am going to close as WONTFIX.
