ESXi Import fails when using "Live-Import"

Hi,

I am currently attempting to use the new automatic import interface for importing a Test-VM from VMWare ESXi to Proxmox.
This works very well when using the regular import function, however the "Live-Import" doesn't seem to work. Upon starting the import it creates the VM in proxmox but fails to actually import it;


Logical volume "vm-107-disk-0" created.
scsi0: successfully created disk 'local-lvm:vm-107-disk-0,size=16G'
restore-scsi0: transferred 0.0 B of 16.0 GiB (0.00%) in 0s
restore-scsi0: stream-job finished
restore-drive jobs finished successfully, removing all tracking block devices
An error occurred during live-restore: VM 107 qmp command 'blockdev-del' failed - Node 'drive-scsi0-restore' is busy: node is used as backing hd of '#block217'

TASK ERROR: live-restore failed

This leaves me with a now VM, which is locked and non responsive.
Does anyone know what causes this problem or how I would go about to fixing this.
 
Yes, same problem here. Cold migrate works perfectly but on live migrate :

Rounding up size to full physical extent 4.00 MiB
Logical volume "vm-102-disk-0" created.
transferred 0.0 B of 128.0 KiB (0.00%)

restore-sata1: transferred 0.0 B of 40.0 GiB (0.00%) in 0s

An error occurred during live-restore: VM 102 qmp command 'blockdev-del' failed - Node 'drive-sata1-restore' is busy: node is used as backing hd of '#block663'

TASK ERROR: live-restore failed

I also modified on the vmware side these two options at 0 (see screenshot) like indicated in this thread https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-8-1-esxi-import-storage-error-500.144049/
