Actually I'd try this in a non-primary links menu. Some themes go to the trouble of treating primary links differently, and Intentionally making them not expand. Try performing the same tasks with either a newly created menu, or in the navigation menu. Do they work there? If so, make a new menu and enable the block in your theme rather than using them as primary links.

are primary links in the primary links menu. Based on the Navigation menu, it seems that I've got this set up correctly, and shouldn't even have to check the "expanded" box
for the
parent, if I only want it expanded when actually viewing theparent
Does the problem still occur if you change the theme?
Unfortunately, yes, I tried changing back to the garland theme with no luck. I also tried deleting the menu entirely and recreating it from scratch - no joy.
