My impression is that calendar sexp entries don't play well with the
rest of org-mode: most of the code does not understand them, so you
end up with situations like the above.

IMO, you are better off creating separate entries for MWF. You might
want to look into `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' to create them
efficiently.
