On : 12.2.8 version, Catalog items

When using the EGO_ITEM_PUB.process_items API to update existing items, some failed master/child org imports do not display any errors. 
When this problem occurs, the call to EGO_ITEM_PUB.process_items correctly returns an "E" for x_return_status, and it returns a positive value for x_msg_count. BUT, the call to error_handler.get_message_count(), which should contain the error itself, returns 0 - and there are no errors to return from error_handler.get_message.

However - note that if we query mtl_interface_errors before rolling back, we can see the errors that should've been returned. But, because there's no direct tie between the ego_item_pub.process_items call and mtl_interface_errors rows, there's no way to directly get the true errors in this case. This is a serious problem because the user who is trying to send item data into EBS has no idea what the real error was and cannot correct it.

ERROR
-----------------------
(No errors) , though expect correct errors to be returned if there are any.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Update two items using API , See that first one errors, second one passes.  User expects errors to be returned for the failed item, but sees none.
