I wonder if this could be due to the fact that in the UK they drive on the other side of the road and drivers and passenger sides were mixed up. Good point, and thanks.
Do not want to burst your bubble. I have UK 230 TE ( same arrangement) and both door locks have full function and invoke the 'close windows convenience feature' on demand -so you must have a snag.

Saying that, on occasions ( 2 or 3 times in 9 years) I have had the same symptom as you have described. I put it down to a logic glitch. Otherwise the convenience feature only works to close open windows and sunroof.

Hope this helps and good luck.
