Hmm. That statement may have been overly optimistic. I think it's
pretty clear clear cut that schedules *should* work for defined type

I don't see anything wrong with your manifest or your expectations. I
would submit a bug report / feature request. This seems to be related
to, but distinct from, open (and accepted) feature request 5856:
