ULE currently uses some tricks in order to avoid too many sched_lock 
acquisitions that pessimize in load balancing and in pick_pri case.
In the night, I think Jeff is going to commit the infrastructure to let 
sched_lock back home and soon we will have ULE sched_lock free. It means 
that we could really have a good balancing and an effective usage of 
pick_pri for it.

As saying: it is a known bug, and partially intentional...
