Sorry for the noise! A little investigation reveals that this behavior
is almost certainly by design. Changing the source by hand gives an
error message that says "don't do that" and section 2.3.4 also of the
UIMA References also documents this.

I was just putting some unit tests together and was editing a type
system and noticed that I can't seem to subtype a type that is a
subtype of uima.cas.String in the CDE. I thought this was maybe a
bug that I should bring attention to. For my part, I'm not concerned
with the ability to create nested subtypes of uima.cas.String - so
apologies if this is noise.
