[Programming Help] - Problems with ID0.SG23

I'm exploring automated trading by alerts, and have created an extremely simple long entry signal while I learn:

=ID0.SG23 > ID0.SG23[-1]

It works just fine on a Renko chart. However it does not work at all on a Candlestick chart. According to the documentation:

As of version 1734, when using SG23, if the chart is not a Renko bar chart, this will refer to the standard bar Close price without causing any formula error. This allows the use of this particular Subgraph identifier (SG23) even when the chart bars are not Renko and will always refer to the correct Close price.

So this is supposed to just use the normal close on a candle chart but doesn't. I can change the formula to
=C > C[-1]
and then it works fine. I'm running version 2005. What am I missing here?
