Yeah, that seems to be a thing and it puzzled me too - my first (and only) contact with this British Know-how self-depreciation phenomenon came through watching The IT Crowd, where one early running gag is that some piece of equipment will totally malfunction then they spot a "Made in Britain" label on it and go all "ah, that explains it".
