Ah, one of the Great Schisms. See the 3rd from the last paragraph in the description of *MSG in the CP Programming Services book: "If a virtual machine has both a valid path to *MSG and a functioning secondary user, incoming messages (except for SMSGs, which are not console messages) are directed to the secondary user instead of the IUCV *MSG path to the primary user." You can't use SCIF to monitor the behavior of a user connected to *MSG. I don't recall if SET OBSERVER has the same effect or not. And in case you're confused, VM/SP and VM/XA handled this differently. VM/SP handled this the Right and Proper Way. VM/XA did it the Horrible and Evil Way. I still hold a grudge.
