Returning a 404 after successfully adding a member is definitely a bug, however, there is a workaround: add a "partition" attribute:

 

curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/test-pool/members -d '{"name":" VCS.com:80", "partition":"Common"}'

 

Until they fix this, just modify your code to add the "partition" for any POSTs to members/.

edit: I just found another post that references this same behavior in v12.0.
