Values are outside of range for Schedule Type Limits

When I try the run OS model which used to run straight in OS 2.4.0 in OS 2.5.0 I get the E+ warnings:

** Warning ** ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule:Day:Interval="2LLO TUESDAY", Values are outside of range for Schedule Type Limits Name=FRACTIONAL

And finally I get the E+ severe :

   ** Severe  ** ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule="2ND LIVING LIGHT USAGE" has values outside its Schedule Type (FRACTIONAL) range
   **   ~~~   **   Minimum should be >=0.000 and Maximum should be <=1.000

The following are relevant lines from the in.idf file:

ScheduleTypeLimits,
  Fractional,                             !- Name
  0,                                      !- Lower Limit Value {BasedOnField A3}

The errors are eliminated when Average Linear is replaced with Linear Average in interpolate to Timestep. Am I doing something wrong?
