The pattern wizard may not match what the underlying prediction code can actually do in that case. It's likely (but I haven't tested) that the prediction code doesn't know how to make combination issues of more than two units.
There might be a plausible workaround: you could have a combined issue for 06/07, and an omitted issue for 08. If that works, you would probably still want to edit the "June/July" label by hand to read "June/July/August" for the generated issues, but unless you subscribe to a lot of publications using this or similar patterns, at least there won't be many such issues to edit. Hope this helps.
