Can't efile due to dependent claiming themselves?

I tried to efile (married filing joint). The returns were rejected stating that one of my dependents filed a return claiming themselves. However, going back to the copies that were filed, it clearly says "Someone can claim you as a dependent". Is it possible the IRS entered this incorrectly? I cannot file until I remove the dependent (not sure which one it is as they are both dependents and filed as such.)
