ERROR 001409: Failed to write to the output location when writing output of ESRI ArcGISPro 3 arcpy.gapro.JoinFeatures to memory workspace

Question

When using the arcpy.ga.JoinFeatures to write the joined feature to the memory workspace, I get error

ERROR 001409: Failed to write to the output location when writing output.

Example:

arcpy.gapro.JoinFeatures('C:/my.gdb/polys',
                          'C:/my.gdb/table'
                           r'memory\temp',
                           'JOIN_ONE_TO_ONE',
                           attribute_relationship='pk fk',
                           keep_all_target_features='KEEP_ALL',
                           )

I've tried using r'in_memory\temp' and also setting the arcpy.env.workspace to 'memory' and passing the layer name only. All with the same error.

No issue on writing to a file geodatabase.

My gut is that it is an issue with the tools in geoanalyst which support multiprocessing through Spark - but i've not yet tried any other tools in the geoanalyst toolbox.

Unfortunately, due to my organsations convoluted licensing and support arrangements with ESRI, I am unable to raise this issue with ESRI or ask on their forums.

Per the Considerations for Geoanalytic Desktop tools help --

GeoAnalytics Desktop tools do not support the memory workspace.
