I even tried to attach the second sketch directly to the first one - to no avail. It is still not recognized as lying in the same plane, leave alone being parallel.

1) The mapping to XZ plane isn't perfect as the working plane is very slightly flipped
2) 2 parallel (aligned) planes are not always detected as such

Both are probably due to floating point computation (didn't analyze 1, 2 for sure). Will try to tackle this in the coming days.
Both problems fixed in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/5197

BTW, a thank you from me to you is due :)

Sometimes I think I have lost my manners. Mum would not be proud of that...

If your Mum is a bit like mine - and I guess that all mums are alike - then she may not understand a single bit, but she would nevertheless be very proud of what you are doing here.
