name= target selector only matches for players

It appears, according to what others have found with my findings as well, the name target selector does not target non-player entities.

I'm reluctant to go switch over to the latest beta again on the Google Play Store due to all the waiting hassle (and a seemingly required reboot before it will install, or even allow me to install the beta – it's a bug in Android, at least the one I have).

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 4
OS Version: (named Lollipop and has .1 at the end... the Desktop version is much more accessible yet very annoying that it zooms in each time, so I cannot check withour more aggrivation)
