I opened a ticket with Microsoft, showed them the issue. They are still investigating the primary issue further.

Background on Secondary Question:
If you recall from previous blog:

So, if you have Dynamics 365 Marketing, and look at the tables – you will find:

We have triplets.  

 <entity name=”msdynmkt_contactpointconsent”>
<entity name=”msdynmkt_contactpointconsent2″>
<entity name=”msdynmkt_contactpointconsent3″>

Why three tables and what do they refer to?

Microsoft Response

Microsoft have come back with explanation of the three tables:

msdynmkt_contactpointconsent, this entity has been deprecated (as we can see from its display name)
msdynmkt_contactpointconsent2, this is the default entity that our system is using to store Contact Point Consent data.
msdynmkt_contactpointconsent3, this entity is designed for upcoming new function which would respect business units. This feature will use the msdynmkt_contactpointconsent3 entity.

Thanks to Microsoft Support for following up.
