No.  But actually this is not an expected error.

Note that:

When installing or upgrading to Release 12.2, do not run adsplice until you have applied the 12.2.2 Release Update Pack. Running adsplice before your instance is at the 12.2.2 code level may cause file synchronization issues.

You may get rid of those custom top conf and then add it after enabling online patching during the Latest Code Level upgrade. This is undocumented, but this is what comes to my mind right now..
--as an alternative you may also check the context file used by that failing autoconfig-run and do corrections there and then rerun autoconfig.. It is clear that there is something wrong/missing with/in that context file

Mandatory Steps for Custom Schema Upgrade for 12.0 / 12.1

Note: Do not run adsplice when you are at the Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.0 level. Before running adsplice, you must upgrade to R12.AD.C.Delta.5 and R12.TXK.C.Delta.5 Release update packs or higher for AD and TXK.

This step is applicable only if you have custom products. If you have add-on localization products installed (CLE, CLA, CLL, CLJ), then you must re-splice those add-on localization products.

Important: You must re-splice after enabling EBR with CLE. Applying the latest AD delta patches will overwrite the context file.

Running adsplice

For the custom products that already exist, you must run adsplice on the Run File system to lay down the file system.

Action: For running adsplice, refer to Creating a Custom Application in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID: 1577707.1).
