Iterative features patterns: moves not reflected in later sketches?

Kind of a weird case here, but I am using a feature pattern to increment a counter that is used for positioning elements.
However, it seems like sketch planes are not being patterned when a transform operation is performed during the pattern. Here is a test document that illustrates the issue:
...the original block in the bottom left has been patterned upwards. As part of the pattern, the block is also moved to the right. A sketch and extrude on top of the block is included in the pattern... but the lateral movement of its parent is not reflected. I've tried with the transform being both before and after the sketch/extrude for the upper block; they act the same.
I would expect this document to produce three copies of the stacked blocks in a diagonal pattern. But... no love.
I've tried boolean union-ing the two parts, and even having the second extrude just add to the original part, changing the order of items in the pattern, everything I can think of.
Any ideas or workarounds?
