I ran into this same issue today. It appears that Windows uses the lowest numbered IP address on an interface as the primary interface IP in the route table, no matter what ordered they are specified or added. I cannot find a source to confirm this though.

The key part being
skipassource=true.You can confirm this worked correctly with the following command:
Unfortunately, you cannot make this change on an existing IP address, so it must be deleted and re-added.
