Generating early bound classes for actions fails to produce code?

Hi,

We're using early bound code generation to generate classes for some of our plugins. However, since recently, it appears as though no code is generated for actions any more.

I have tried using XrmToolbox "EarlyBoundGenerator" tool, but also directly using different versions of the crmsvcutil.exe tool, and I have also tried the new pac modelbuilder tool. All of them do process the messages in the environment, but in the end I just end up with an empty code file containing only the namespace I specified. Did anyone else run into this?

It doesn't seem to matter what environment I use, the result is always the same; I have access to different test environments running both managed and unmanaged solutions of the actions I'm trying to generate code for.

Example output (CrmSvcUtil)

It's suspect that it says it wrote 119 messages? I don't see any of that. (Besides in our default actions filter we specify only 5 action's we're interested in)

Example output (pac modelbuilder, note that I did not put any filters on the messages in this case, and it only wrote 1 message, and I don't recognize it "msdyn_CreateTrainEffortModelConfig"):
