Graph API licence assignment failed due to a strange error

Question

Hi, I'm looking for help in resolving quite strange issue on license assignment to a newly created user.
I use Graph API v.2013-11-08 (tried with API v.1.5 with the same result) calls like :
"https://graph.windows.net/{domain}/users?api-version=2013-11-08" + JSON body
"https://graph.windows.net/{tenant}/users/{userPrincipalName}/assignLicense?api-version=2013-11-08" + JSON body
to create new accounts and to assign licenses to it. While  account is created successfully license assignment can't be done because of the next error:
Server response: {"odata.error":{"code":"Request_ResourceNotFound","message":{"lang":"en","value":"Resource '{userPrincipaName}/{or sometimes something like User_<alphanumeric String>}'
does not exist or one of its queried reference-property objects are not present."}}}
Actually this error is strange because:
a) the account exists on the moment of the license assignment call;
b) passed skuid exists and is valid;
c) the error appears only on production environment, meanwhile the same account (same URLs, same data, same license skuid) can be normally created on another environment;
d) the error appears only for one domain. If I do test for other domains it works on all environments. It means that the problem is not with the code  (all the API calls are performed within Java Web App), but with something different that i can't find;
e) This error doesn't allow assign licenses to any users within one problematic domain using API calls, but they can be assigned to the same accounts in PowerShell.
Can you please advise where to look and/or what may cause such a problem?
Thank you.

Hi kshp,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
This is forum for developers discussing developing issues about
apps for Office.
Based on the description, it seems that you are developing with
Graph API. I would like to move it to
Azure Active Directory forum.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thanks for your understanding.
