By definition, all replicas in a shard should be identical. So Solr is doing exactly what I'd expect since you've created two nodes each belonging to shard1 because of this parameter: "shard=shard1" so updates will go to both exactly as they should. The name parameter will allow you to distinguish between separates replicas of the _same_ shard.
I'd actually recommend that you don't use the admin/cores API at all for collections and use the collections API instead, see: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Collections+API. Note that in the upper-left you can download the full PDF for 4.10.
