STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
MORE INFORMATION
This hotfix will not resolve any non-convergence that is already present in a replication topology. This hotfix is designed to prevent future non-convergence when columns are unpublished and dropped from a dynamically filtered merge publication. To resolve non-convergence that is already present, you must reinitialize the subscriptions.
