Doesn't seem like the plan is working.

Dougz I have found that all methods of measuring bf% really suck for determining if a plan is working or not. The question I have for you is are you progessing? Are you able to lift more reps or higher weights than you were before? If so, you ain't dropping a bunch of muscle.
Like I said, your bf% is high enough that you would have to be on a pretty retarded program to drop a bunch of muscle.
Whether you lift hypertrophy range (9-12)ish or strength range (5-8)ish or even endurance range (12-15)ish is probably pretty insignificant in this picture at this time. If I am allowed an opinion (based on my own training prescribed by Alan for this same exact goal) I say do one set of upper and one set of lower in the strength range and one in the hypertrophy range and keep your diet completely on target.
