According to the FixList (http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/fixlist/bug.htm) 
the problem was fixed in TRNSYS 15.3.00 (or at least "a" problem with 
internal shading and schedules):
...
10.  Source Code: Type56
- A bug was fixed for walls with active layers and identical boundary
   conditions
- A bug was fixed for Internal shading devices using schedules
...

Are you using 15.3.00? If yes, please send your project to your 
distributor so we can get a chance to fix it.

Kind regards,

Michaël Kummert
