good afternoon - - -
I happened to experience this earlier today,
before I saw these posts on the subject.
i1 Match 2.0.2
Mac OSX
ECI CMYK target, printed in four parts.
after all the rows were measured,
i1 March asked would I like to remeasure a few faulty patches
to improve profile quality, I said yes,
it guided me through remeasuring (in patch mode):
3 to 5 patches in each of the four parts.
(went quite quickly)
All of the patches that I remeasured were NOT blank
before I measured them.
When I was finished with part four,
it asked for a measure on part one
(I don't know if it was one of the patches
I had already done.)
When I measured that patch,
it still asked to be measured, (same patch)
I measured again,
again it asked to be measured,
I clicked the proceed arrow,
the profile was created,
I have detected no problems with it so far.
(I then made a second profile of the same device
on a different stock, i1 did not ask for
remeasuring any patches for that profile.)
When compared in ColorThink
with a profile made of the same device
using the original i1 CMKY target,
the profile made with Match2x and the ECI target
appeared to have a smoother, less jerky gamut boundary.
(I suppose that this is not particularly useful information,
since the Match 1x profile was created some months ago,
and the calibration routine that I follow before profiling
this device is not very precise.)

It sounds like you need to re-measure your printed targets to be sure
all of
the patches are measured correctly. That happened to few clients of
mine
recently. In those cases it was a matter of going a little slower when
measuring each line of patches.
There was a bug in the beta of 2.0 whereby you were asked to repeat
measuring some patches and you ended up in a loop. Simply accepting
the data
as captured produced a profile that was fine and dandy. I was pretty
sure
that bug got squashed on the Mac version but it seems to have survived
in
the PC version. I haven't seen the bug crop up on the OSX version
since the
final. Anyway, you can go through the process of doing the remeasure
but at
some point, just build the profile and I'll bet you'll be just fine.
This
seems to be a paper issue in some cases (when you get the error, when
you
don't). I understand a fix (dot release) is soon to show. In the
meantime, I
would take the time to measure the patches once but if the software
asks
again, just skip this and build the profile.
