Could you provide a sample? Because i've just tried with a simple GetMember and it works fine in 9.0. Likely it won't work if you're trying to look up a member of the dimension itself (because you've not finished building it, of course), but should work fine with other ones of the same dimension type.
If my prior response was not clear, I apologize. GetMemberId(), GetMemberName() etc that ask for DimTypeId work fine on other DimTypes, but fail if used to find a member on the DimType of the Dynamic Dimension being built. The error message indicates it has issues with the Dyn Dim that is currently being built. IMHO, these functions should be smart enough to skip over the dynamic dim that is in currently being rebuilt. The use case is when you need to find MemberId's of specific inherited members to which you want to dynamic children.
The workaround is to use the GetMemberInfo() variant that accepts DimPk, which if set to the InheritedDimPk then works. All the other Member functions that take DimPk work fine.
