I am hitting a similar problem and if I understand correctly it seems this is specific to multisite configuration. For multisite the `multisite:migrate` occurs in the hook `after_bundle_exec` but the `assets:precompile` is trying to do its thing for each db configured. Meaning, for multisite the db migrations are actually happening after the asset compilation.

At least that is my guess!

The best solution I could think of was to edit web.template.yml to perform the `multisite:migrate` directly prior to `assets:precompile`. This works for me temporarily at least.
