Potentially an issue with the change >>> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/compare/final-2_18_20..final-2_18_21#diff-7f83d21b1d3b1afc39d33a7c9560cb59R439

I'd raise a bug on issues.qgis.org with test case and then raise a QGIS-Developer mail message as well

from linz-data-importer.

Thanks for chiming in.

Thats the plan, I will do that right now. I did really want to test it with other WFS2 services that are not koordinates implemented. I have not found the ideal services to do this. Any recommendations?

Most I have come across do not implement typeNames as per the spec. i,e they still use typeName`

For example:
should be WFS2 http://giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us/geoserver/wfs?request=getcapabilities

But they use 'typename'
http://giswebservices.massgis.state.ma.us/geoserver/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typename=massgis:GISDATA.PATHWAYS_ARC_M219
