I confirm this behavior under 15.2 .

Methinks SKILL is trying to "help" you by up-classifying your shape if it fits 
one of Allegro's predefined shapes. 

One workaround would be to "clip the corners"  off your shape so SKILL would no 
longer see it as a true rectangle. But now you'd need to craft a function to 
calculate where to clip each corner based on the overall scale of the shape. 
Not difficult but should not be necessary in the first place.

Fortunately, within SKILL itself this RECTANGLE object has an objType of 
"shape" so all your code will process it just fine.
