Answer:
This was caused by the database not being updated during the 14.60 upgrade. The upgrade was re-run and it was verified that after that both the FIMS version and the DB version both show 14.60 in FIMS help. Fieldmaker was committed now without errors, and the Fieldmaker fields now show correct.
