Apparently this bug has been around since Windows 8.
As the thread progresses, the answers get closer to where they should
be. Still not a convenient solution, by any stretch of the imagination.
Initially, someone uses account tricks to try and step around the
problem, switching login to a local user and then switching
back to an MSA. Some of the other methods attempt registry
based fixes.

What the Answers thread suggests, is this behavior works like
a "trap door". You can "move" a local user to MSA+OneDrive, but
if you then attempt to move them back, the two items
Documents and Pictures become "Access Denied" troublemakers.
