I made a replay that demonstrates the issue, in it I take the steps I described in 1a.
Fast forward to about 60% to get to the action.

I did search, but apparently not good enough. In case 1a the train is waiting at a station and I set it to manual. In case 2a I do the same but the cargo wagon has the "enable logistics while moving" enabled. So in the given save, disable the checkbox "enable logistics while moving&qu...
