This is not a bug in Debspawn. The distribution (PureOS) does not have an i386 flavor, so downloading it fails.
By default, if no architecture is specified, Debspawn will use the architecture of the host to create a new environment, which in this case seems to be i386.
You can override this by passing the --arch parameter: debspawn create green --arch amd64
Feel free to reopen the issue report if this reply doesn't make sense to you or the issue persists.
Sure enough, passed the amd64 arch and everything just worked.
