I think you have assigned the resource to the summary task. The duration
of the summary task is calculated from its subtasks, so the resource
should be assigned to the subtasks instead. Otherwise the subtasks will
use the project calendar.

That's just how planner shows it. Maybe this will be changed when
support for task splits is implemented.
