Committing a page layout change results in a "Create Review Blocked" error

**Describe the bug**
A work item which involved page layout changes to one layout (specifically removing some read only locks on fields in a layout) was committed successfully to the work item, but the top right corner where "Create Review" normally is is a "Create Review Blocked" error, which when clicked says: "You can't create a change request because the commit contains only deleted files that don't currently exist in the repository. To proceed, commit another change to this work item." This happened even when setting one work item to Never and trying again. I do see the commit in Github as well.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Make the specified Layout changes
2. commit only the Layout metadata element to the work item
3. Try to Create Review

**Expected behavior**
I should be able to move this item through to promotion as the metadata was committed successfully
