I ran a mock return in the TurboTax download version for Delaware.
I understand that you wanted to file Jointly rather than Married filing combined separate, so on the "About Your Filing Status" screen, I selected No to Married filing combined separate.
Like you, when I did the Smart Review, there was a "1" entered in for the spouse exemption field, but I was able to delete the 1 and leave that field blank to clear the error.
I did a similar mock return in the online version of TurboTax, and used the filing status of Married filing Jointly and had no errors for that.
It's possible that a subsequent update took care of this issue.
