Strange XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) bug

The simple reduced XML-schema at the end is valid according to Visual Studio
built in validator and also according to XML-Spy. In addition it is deduced
from constructs used in a standard.

Using the XML Schema definition tool (xsd.exe) of the .NET framework SDK to
generate C#-classes correct result for that XML-schema are produced.
Using the same tool with the same XML-schmema to generate ADO.Net datasets
(switch /d instead of /c) brings up the following error message:

"undefined data type: 'Type1' " (translated from German error message).

Still more strange, having removed the Element2 from the XML-schema
everything goes well, a correct dataset is generated. But Element2 should
not have any impact on the outcome!

Any ideas or help?
Thanx
