To be valid, the SCHEDULED spec should be immediately following the
headline.  So this is just a timestamp...

I haven't looked too closely, but at first glance
org-agenda-get-timestamps not detecting the second entry seems expected.
org-agenda-get-timestamps has a comment that says "[s]kip date ranges,
scheduled and deadlines, which are handled specially".  Still without
looking closely, I'd guess that the "handled specially" is referring to
org-agenda-get-scheduled and org-agenda-get-deadlines.
