A complex type cannot be a restriction of a simpleType ??

I trying to use Castor to process some XSDs but I'm having a problem and am trying to figure out whether it's the Castor implementation or the XSD that is at fault. I've made the assumption that this a valid schema but maybe it's not. 

This xsd :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:vcml="http://www.vcml.net/1.1" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xsd:complexType name="element">
    <xsd:simpleContent>
      <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
        <xsd:attribute name="desc"/>
        <xsd:attribute name="valueDesc" type="xsd:string"/>
      </xsd:extension>
    </xsd:simpleContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:complexType name="ID">
    <xsd:simpleContent>
      <xsd:restriction base="element">
        <xsd:pattern value="[A-Z\d]*"/>
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:complexType name="D_I01">
    <xsd:simpleContent>
      <xsd:restriction base="ID">
        <xsd:minLength value="2"/>
        <xsd:maxLength value="2"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="00" vcml:desc="No Authorization Information Present (No Meaningful Information in I02)"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="01" vcml:desc="UCS Communications ID"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="02" vcml:desc="EDX Communications ID"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="03" vcml:desc="Additional Data Identification"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="04" vcml:desc="Rail Communications ID"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="05" vcml:desc="Department of Defense (DoD) Communication Identifier"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="06" vcml:desc="United States Federal Government Communication Identifier"/>
        <xsd:enumeration value="07" vcml:desc="United States Federal Government Communication Identifier"/>
        <xsd:attribute fixed="Authorization Information Qualifier" name="desc"/>
      </xsd:restriction>
    </xsd:simpleContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

which when processed by the IBM XML Schema Quality Checker give no errors gets the following exception:

element: 6 ID 
ID: 21 D_I01 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: D_I01 A complex type cannot be a restriction of a simpleType ID 	at

when I try and run it through the source generator. I added some output so I could see what XML type the entities in question were. As you can see 'ID' is being considered a simpleType despite the fact that it is declared a complexType this appears to happen because of the restriction based on 'element' which extends a simpleType. Is this the correct behavior? Can anyone explain this to me please? If this isn't correct then how about a fix?
