Consider the follow set up:
Project One: "Test" has:
One standalone task: "Task 1" and
Two summary tasks: "Summary 1" and "Summary 2".
Summary 1 has a single subtask: "Sub 1"
Summary 2 has a single subtask: "Sub 2"
The "Test" project has a single subproject: "Sub Project 1"
Sub Project 1 has a single stand alone tasks "Task 2".
I've watched your WMV and I agree with your statements.
I have reproduced exactly your above data and experience in an old DEV system (v8.1).

This is trying to create a dependency between a "Task" and a "Summary" task - and you can't do that; either in thw WBS screen (like in your WMV), nor in OWB, nor by editting the task itself and setting up the dependency.

This is trying to create a dependency between a "Summary task" and a "Summary" task - and you can't do that either, summary tasks just dont let us have dependencies (same as above case).

OK, I get the same "Action cannont be performed against subproject tasks" when I try this in the WBS layout screen.
However if I set up the dependency in either OWB or in the task itself then it lets me do this fine (see below).
So there probably is a problem in that WBS screen (which has been depreciated in v13 in favour of the Gantt editor), but you could always create the dependency between the two normal tasks by OWB or in teh task edit screens.
Hope that helps!
