Field Collection + List Items in Rules - No DB Transaction

I've seen this error before on other issues reported for field collection, and I hope I'm hitting the right mark by posting here. I get the following error once try and create a rule that adds a list item to a field collections host entities fields when a new field collection is created:

DatabaseTransactionNoActiveException: in DatabaseConnection->rollback()

Here is an export of my rule:

{ "rules_update_studio_exclusions_list" : {
    "LABEL" : "Update Studio Exclusions List",
    "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
    "ACTIVE" : false,
    "TAGS" : [ "Member", "Studio Exclusions", "Studios" ],
    "REQUIRES" : [ "rules", "field_collection" ],
    "ON" : [ "field_collection_item_insert" ],
    "IF" : [
      { "entity_is_of_bundle" : {
          "entity" : [ "field-collection-item" ],
          "type" : "field_collection_item",
          "bundle" : { "value" : { "field_studio_exclusion_set" : "field_studio_exclusion_set" } }
        }
      },
      { "entity_has_field" : {
          "entity" : [ "field-collection-item:host-entity" ],
          "field" : "field_studio_exclusion_set"
        }
      },
      { "entity_has_field" : {
          "entity" : [ "field-collection-item:host-entity" ],
          "field" : "field_studio_hidden"
        }
      },
      { "entity_has_field" : { "entity" : [ "field-collection-item" ], "field" : "field_studio" } }
    ],
    "DO" : [
      { "list_add" : {
          "list" : [ "field-collection-item:host-entity:field-studio-hidden" ],
          "item" : [ "field-collection-item:field-studio" ]
        }
      },
      { "drupal_message" : { "message" : "The condition was true." } }
    ]
  }
}

As far as I can tell, I am doing this right through the rules UI.
