Key won't turn past GP position, but steering unlocks

I've been pouring over dozens of threads about tumblers and ignition lock housings. No one seems to have my exact problem. So here goes:

1986 300sdl, 250,000 miles
I replaced the tumbler about a year ago with one from MB.
I can turn the key to the glow plug position, but it goes no further.
I can lock and unlock the steering wheel without any problem.

Is this a bad ignition lock housing? It seems like most people with a bad housing can't unlock their steering wheel.
