French 'carte de séjour' concerns

My husband and I recently received our récipissés for our applications for cartes de séjour .

Published Monday 03 June 2019 - 15:00 Modified Monday 03 June 2019 - 15:00

Despite providing our marriage certificate with a translation and evidence of our date of arrival in France, our récipissés record us as as being célibataires and arriving 00/00/2014. Is this a bug and has it happened to others?
