10micron won't stop tracking

When I try and stop my 10micron GM-1000HPS tracking it does not stop. An error appears in the Indi control panel saying Tracking State is not supported. This happens whether I use the Indi control panel or the ekos mount panel. It also happens when the scheduler stops due to reaching alt limit which means the mount will just track into the pier! I rebooted the mount computer and did a goto and the tried to stop tracking. Log is attached and the relevant part is:

The bit when the mount initializes about Custom tracking rates set seems odd as I have not done anything to that effect. Not sure if it relates to subsequent tracking problem or not.
