This is a known bug in Nexus Repo 2:

https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-9508

However, your work-around SHOULD have worked. Try running a build against the repo, our support people say you might be trying to browse remote or checking the index tabs, which will not work in this case.

You can try out Nexus Repo 3 in case you aren't using it, I'd be interested to see what your mileage is there. Let me know either way if this helps!
