Problem with "User Profile sync" / big Sync_DB and RemoveWorkflowDefinitionsAndInstances.sql in SP 2010 after CU August 2012 (KB 2687353), is it a bug ?

Hi,
I have standalone Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard as domain member, with SQL 2008 R2 Standard, with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise.
Everything is updated to latest stable updates (SP1 and so on...) and installed only English language.

After some short time, we have very big SQL database for User Profile Sync Service (Sync_DB). Everything works, however database is very big (about 22GB, for 300 users it growed in 4 months).

There was issue solved about big Sync_DB in cumulative updates for SharePoint, so I have placed latest this cumulative update (August 28, 2012): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687353 for my SharePoint Server 2010 SP1.

Installation was fine with no errors, however after server restart, FIM service stopped working. I have tried to provision again "User Profile Service" with my sp-farm account (which is set as member of local Administrators group) and it could not start.

Here is warning in Application log for ILM Web Service Configuration:

and next one:

ILM SQL Configuration file could not be read: Error Parcing the SQL File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0\Sql\RemoveWorkflowDefinitionsAndInstances.sql  Exception: <_x0040_failureLogTable ObjectIdentifier="0A4BAADF-68CD-4ABB-99A0-82588C778BC2" ErrorMsg="Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates a mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 1, current count = 2."/>

FIM service tries few times do the same, but with same errors. Finally it stops itself.

My question is, is it a bug in latest cumulative update with SQL script file RemoveWorkflowDefinitionsAndInstances.sql ? How can I solve this ?

You can check content of file above in error message. Also my SQL table in [Sync_DB].[db].[ActiveHostedWorkflowDefinitionWithEndpoints] is empty.

Please help,
Thank you
