Physical computer profile "Error 21505" setting management vNic port profile

Question

Hi
Versions: WS2012R2, VMM 2012R2 CU4.
I am creating a Physical computer profile for bare metal deployment of hosts that will eventually form a Hyper-V cluster. I have 4 pNics and have configured 2 pNics as a switch for the VMs (guest traffic). The last two pNics are form a logical
switch with three vNics for host comms (management, heartbeat and Live Migration). The problem I am facing is that when I set the port classification for the management vNic to "Host management" the job returns the following
error:
Error 21505
The specified network adapter profile cannot be removed because it is associated with another network adapter profile as a transient management network adapter.
Recommended Action
To remove this network adapter profile, first remove the associated network adapter profile.
As indicated by the error I do have a pNic set as a transient management network adapter, and this has an uplink port profile set (as it is used to create the switch required for host comms). I don't get why this isn't working and I can't find anything
online regarding the error. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?
I should mention that I created the (almost) excact profile pre CU4 and this produced no error in the jods view.
