Upgrade StorageZotero inserts full first name of author
I refer to three authors with the same last name, and most of the time Zotero handles it correctly and inserts e.g. R. Ellis, 2009 - but it has suddenly started writing the full first name of this one author: Rod Ellis, 2009.
the authors name is in the same format for all the references to him in Zotero. Does anyone have an idea as to what has gone wrong and how I might rectify it?

Can you replicate this in a new document with just those citations?
From the list below you can see that it also behaves weird in the bibliography.... I cannot figure it out!

First, double-check that you have only one of them in your Zotero library. If there are two, crucially, do _not_ delete the duplicate but instead select both, right-click --> Merge duplicates.
If there is no duplicate entry in Zotero, the problem is likely an orphaned citation in the document. Find all references to R. Ellis 2008 in the document and re-insert the citation. As you re-insert it, make sure you select it from under "My Library" and not under "Cited" in the Word add-on.
EDIT: Also see @adamsmith's response above and try merging duplicates first.
