Family Sharing and the App Store

There are two weird things I'm noticing now that I've set up Family Sharing for my wife and myself.
1) Both of our iCloud Account pictures in the Settings App are the same. If I change my iCloud picture to myself, both our iCloud accounts (though they are set up with separate email addresses) change to the same picture. The same happens if my wife sets her iCloud account picture - it changes both our accounts' pictures.
2) When I go to the App Store, under Purchased I get two sections: My Purchases, and my wife's purchases, listed under her name. If my wife goes to the App Store and goes to Purchased, she gets the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than [my email address]." This is despite logging completely out of iCloud and the App Store on her phone, leaving Family Sharing, and rejoining everything using her Apple ID.
Has anyone else noticed strange or similar behavior?

I have fixed the first issue. Both our phones use my iCloud account for contacts (primary iCloud account on my phone, secondary iCloud account on my wife's phone), but apparently that now messes with how the phone identifies who you are. I have since enabled my wife's iCloud contacts and added one card for herself, using Settings > General > Siri to set that new card as her contact card. Now our iCloud accounts both show our respective pictures, but we can still share contacts.
However, even after turning off Family Sharing on my wife's iCloud account and re-adding her to my Family Sharing account, we still get the message on her phone in App Store > Purchases that "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than b***". There is a Learn More button, but this simply takes me to her phone's iCloud account where it clearly shows that her iCloud is set up in family sharing with my b*** email address. Under App Store > Purchases on my phone, I am able to view both my purchases and, supposedly, her purchases (currently empty).
No one else has seen this problem?
