Description
ESI M8UEX One is using the midi2-acx driver, the other the older usbaudio.sys. The name disambiguators that kick in when they are both in the same transport don't kick in when split this way.
May not be solvable in the short term, but needs investigation
We may decide this isn't worth solving. The markers/disambiguators work fine when the devices are on the same transport, which would be the typical case.
