Relay coil & contacts do not work in subcircuits

[Forecaster]

While creating a test circuit for testing some relay logic using a pair of contactors I tried to make the contactor layout I was using into a subcircuit using the relay coil and contacts. But once I had done so and tried to use the subcircuit it no longer worked.

It seems the links between the coil and contacts are broken when put into a sub-circuit.

It also appears to break links in the main circuit as well. In the example circuit the coil and contact relay2 will not engage until the subcirucit relay is deleted, after which they work normally. (Sometimes after deleting the subcircuit relay, relay2 still will not close until you move it a bit and put it back.)

The coil and contact inside the subcircuit use the label relay1.

I've been able to reproduce the behaviour in this minimal circuit:

Yes, it seems relay coils/contacts do not work in subcircuits.

relay2 works fine for me though. The relays have a 5ms delay which is a pretty long delay with the simulation speed you are using. If you just increase the simulation speed it works OK.
