That's pretty clever, and it looks like it should work.
Maybe something is taking priority?
I'd try some experimentation.  Try:

15 04 1-7 <today.day.number> 6 touch /tmp/foo.test

15 04 1-7 <today.day.number> * touch /tmp/foo.test

15 04 1-7 * * touch /tmp/foo.test

15 04 * * 6  touch /tmp/foo.test 

etc.
It might take a while, but you'll find it eventually!

I had a similar problem with Debian, but it turned out to be a weird timezone 
issue confusing me.
