I've just checked that it really does work for me - and yes, it does.  This
is a bit of one of my org files:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
** Bank holiday weekend

<2018-05-05 Sat>--<2018-05-07 Mon>
#+END_EXAMPLE

and here's (part of) my agenda buffer for that month:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
Saturday    5 May 2018
  divorce:    (1/3):  Bank holiday weekend
Sunday      6 May 2018
  divorce:    (2/3):  Bank holiday weekend
Monday      7 May 2018 W19
  divorce:    (3/3):  Bank holiday weekend
#+END_EXAMPLE

Sorry, that's no solution for you, but maybe there's a clue in the detail
there?

Best wishes,
   Neil
