But you didn't mention that, and gave the odd ** in your example.  In
general, it is best to assume that others' mindreading skills are weak.

The documentation says it should work, I think.   This is something that
I think if it didn't in general, would have been reported, probably.

You might try creating a test replica and writing a minimal config file
for that which expresses the problem, not copy/pasting from what you
have.   That should lead you to either a compact reproducer or to
understand that something else is going on.  (I really have no idea
which case this is, so far.)
