OK... it seems to be saving now. The only thing I did differently was to not use auto-fill, and to include my country code on the phone number, starting with a +.
According to this link...
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/interpreting_and_handling_errors/parsing_the_error_response_code
...the 409 error implies improperly formatted data. So I tried to fiddle with the entry a bit and it seems to have worked.
Share if this works for you! :)
