Hi!
I wrote a blog article on how I am using Org with recurring events
or tasks:
http://karl-voit.at/2017/01/15/org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift/
As Michael Maurer stated in a comment below,
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift does not ask for time-shift
depending on the location of the cursor.
I too had issues with not being asked for a time-shift but I was not
able to determine that this is related to cursor location when
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is invoked.
Here are my test cases:
*** [2017-02-28 Mi] no time-shift with cursor after [
*** <2017-02-28 Mi> no time-shift with cursor after <
*** <2017-02-28 Wed> no time-shift with cursor after <
*** <2017-02-28 Wed 09:00-10:00> no time-shift with cursor after <
*** no time-shift with cursor after [
SCHEDULED: <2017-01-16 Mon>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: [2017-01-16 Mon 12:32]
:END:
*** no time-shift with cursor after <
SCHEDULED: <2017-01-16 Mon>
"no time-shift with cursor after X" means that when the cursor is
placed before the character X, no time-shift is being asked. If the
cursor is on X or after X, the user gets asked to enter a time-shift
as desired.
Following test case works independent of the cursor position:
*** <2017-01-16 Mon> time-shift works

I do thing that this is a bug and not a hidden feature.
Org mode version 9.0.1 (release_9.0.1-55-g51efd7)
