What is your question? Your not really asking for anything specific that we can help you with. You list what you have seen and what you have done, but not what you want help with. Would you mind to be a little more specific?
With the rollback option set to true you would get an empty ITL file. That’s expected.
Make a test with a setting change for something that would require the phones to get the new configuration for it to show up. Any time I’ve worked on this with TAC they have used enable/disable web service on the phone to check if the phone gets the updated configuration.
First verify on a phone if the web service is either enabled or disabled, then make a change for this and reset the phone. When it comes back online check the same to see if you can or cannot access the web page of the phone. If this change from your initial test the phone have got the new configuration.
My guess is that the error message is cosmetic as the ITL is really empty and the phones are not expecting this.
