I'm not sure I understand, but I believe the behaviour you're getting
is correct.  See Jeni's excellent explanation the recent thread on
'block'.

When you put block='extension', what you mean is "Guarantee that any
valid instance of this element will have a type related to the
declared type only by identity or restriction".  It guards against
both changes via substitution and changes via xsi:type.
