The amount of miles credited, always depends from the operating carrier, and the Deutsche Bahn AG is not Star Alliance Partner, so no (aero) miles according rules.

Could this have anything to do with the fact that we are so-called "frequent flyers" rather than "train riders who don't ride those trains"? Honestly ???

Well if the miles don't post automatically you'll have a hard time claiming them, as Deutsche Bahn is not a Star Alliance member.
Further most times I've heard about miles not posting automatically to M&B recently was on the Mannheim-FRA route. QKL-FRA seems to be a better bet though this is only empirical evidence.

Since Mannheim won't show up as an option in the retro claim form I could file it myself and asked the nice lady on the phone to do it for me. The confusing part is that she said that the return from Mannheim to Frankfurt can't be filed since it is a train connection but said that the leg from Frankfurt to Mannheim should be fine and filed the claim. I'll let you know how that story ends lol

Given there's a 'Transfer Points' reference above amounting to a start-up bonus amount, I'd say this screenshot is showing the Together account rather than the personal one - hence there would not be Tier Miles awarded there.
