And it

Answer 1

Apprently undocumented anyway ... the answer is ...

No idea why, this makes no sense, but taking the same command and executing it on another box seems to work fine even when deploying to the same box I had the issue on.

Well done Microsoft ... way to make a Team Services Admins life a dream!
