FunctionalMockupUnitImport

I'm receiving the following errors when trying to perform co-simulation having more than one ExternalInterface:FunctionalMockupUnitImport:To:Variable for the same FMU in EP version 9.0.1.

** Severe  ** GetRuntimeLanguageUserInput: ExternalInterface:FunctionalMockupUnitImport:To:Variable, invalid entry.  
**   ~~~   ** Invalid FMU File Name=ContamFMU.fmu  
**   ~~~   ** Name conflicts with an existing global variable name  
** Severe  ** GetRuntimeLanguageUserInput: ExternalInterface:FunctionalMockupUnitImport:To:Variable, invalid entry.  
**   ~~~   ** Invalid FMU Instance Name=ContamFMU  
**   ~~~   ** Name conflicts with an existing global variable name  
**  Fatal  ** Errors found in getting EMS Runtime Language input. Preceding condition causes termination.

It works fine in EP version 8.3 when I also include the variables as EMS:GlobalVariables.
Using only one variable works in 9.0. However, I must remove the EMS:GlobalVariables (I think EP 8.6+ automatically creates the globals from the EI:FMUI:To:Variable declarations).

ExternalInterface:FunctionalMockupUnitImport:To:Variable,
CX_IN_C_TV,              !- Name  
ContamFMU.fmu,           !- FMU File Name  
ContamFMU,               !- FMU Instance Name  
CTRL_O_CtrlOut_C,        !- FMU Variable Name  
0;                       !- Initial Value

ExternalInterface:FunctionalMockupUnitImport:To:Variable,
CX_IN_B_TV,              !- Name  
ContamFMU.fmu,           !- FMU File Name  
ContamFMU,               !- FMU Instance Name  
CTRL_O_CtrlOut_B,        !- FMU Variable Name  
0;                       !- Initial Value

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
I can provide a fairly simple set of co-simulation input files if necessary.
