My mistake, I misread, thanks for the correction Robert.  FWIW I also am unable to reproduce on 9.1.14

I would still suggest using C-c C-d with . as it seems like a simpler workflow.

I believe the C-u C-c C-d is being done from the agenda buffer, not
the org buffer, so the agenda should be able to keep track of the task
