AFAIK, one cannot use complex symbolic expressions with repeating tasks;
the moment a headline with such an expression is marked done, it is
removed from the agenda. The only solution, at the moment, is to create
different entries for each desired day of the week:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Tuesday task
  SCHEDULED: <2010-09-14 Tue +1w>

* Thursday task
  SCHEDULED: <2010-09-16 Thu +1w>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
