I got the following answer internally:
The schema is correct --- there's no error in this schema,
and the instance is invalid, because it uses <Member1 />
when it's not allowed to substitute <Head />.
The reason why this element substitution is not allowed is
as follows:
=========
"Schema Component Constraint: Substitution Group OK
(Transitive)" 2.3 says for <Member1/> to substitute <Head/>,
the inheritance relationship between its types ("Type" and
"derivedFromType") must not intersect with "Type"s {prohibited
substitution}, which is "block".
This "Substitution Group OK (Transitive)" rule is invoked from
"Validation Rule: Element Sequence Locally Valid (Particle)".
=========
But the author of the above response wisely adds that he would
not be surprised if he is wrong. "With the schema spec,
you just can't take anything for granted."

By reading the spec [1], it seems that it should be EMPTY (and Member1 should be allowed to substitute) since [disallowed substitutions} are only determined by -block- attributes on the element declaration and not its type.
