Description:
When you use the "new n:m relationship" button it always creates the joining table in Layer 1 even if both tables are located in a different layer.

How to repeat:
Create 2 tables.
Create 2 layers.
Place the 2 tables in the second layer.
Use the n:m relationship tool to create a joining table.
The new table will appear in the first layer instead of the second.

Suggested fix:
Place the new table in the same layer as the first of the joined tables.

Many thanks for writing a bug report.

This already is fixed in Workbench 5.0.27.

The new table will be placed neither in the first nor in the second layer. Because it is unclear here where the table should be placed. Theoretically it also could be in a third layer. If you want to have the table in a specific layer, then you should move it into the layer.
