So, I keep on answering my own questions. Sorry to the group for
cluttering things up.

After digging into some of the IBO code and looking at the trace logs
I found out that the KeyLinks property could not be calculated
properly and it had a bogus value in it that was causing the
ambiguous error. That would also explain why this only happend on an
update.
