Myself and others are getting a "error: (404) Not Found" when publishing an unchanged model from PBI Desktop.

This issue seems to the be app.powerbi.com version of the issue reported a few days ago for PBI Desktop:
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/360879-issues/suggestions/16893475-unable-to-open-document-we-weren-t-able-to-restor

While the PBI Desktop issue appears to be resolved by the latest build, myself and others are unable to publish:

I also get Status 500 error when using Get Data from app.powerbi.com, e.g.:

We couldn't import data from Power BI Desktop File

It seems clear the PBI Desktop fix has not been applied to app.powerbi.com.

The trigger seems to be a pre-existing Measure that has the same name as a Table. It seems you do not have to modify the PBIX file to strike this error.

Sorry for the trouble – we had a bug related to reports containing measures with the same name as a table in the model. We’ve since fixed this in Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service. Please download the latest build of Power BI Desktop from powerbi.com and try again. Thanks for your patience.

RE: Unable to Publish or upload Get Data when Measure has the same name as a Table

I notice this fix refers to the issue being when a measure has the same name, i did infact rename my measures and then upgraded to oct 16 version and the service update failed with the above error. can anyone else confirm this happens to them as well?

Exactly the same is here:
Just create measure with the same name as Table Name and try to upload it from app.powerbi.com.
You will have:

Then try to upload it from PBI Desktop.
You will have:
error: (404) Not Found

Very useful message :)

The measure example:
Test = sum(Test[Param])

Please HELP!
