Q: Apple TV wake remote app

I have a 4th Gen Apple TV.  I've properly paired the new (black icon) remote App on my iPhone 6.  I have an AirPort Express so Bonjour's wake over wireless is supported natively.  I've used the remote app many times AFTER turning the AppleTV on with the physical remote.   The App will not wake the Apple TV though

 

I also still have the old remote App (White/Blue icon).  It does wake the AppleTV as soon as I select the AppleTV in the App.

 

Is there a setting I'm missing, or is this a bug in the new remote app?

 

Thanks!

AppleTV 2, tvOS 9.2.2
