That now says you are trying to deduct $20009 in total for 2016 when you only have $10009 deduction room. IMO, that latter $10000 in Image 2 should be a zero.
I put this here because I saw "First 60 days of 2017" but didn't quite notice or pay attention to the smaller text "as a 2016 Contribution". I did the same thing last year and didn't encounter any issues with CRA.

Given that I have the next box that says "RRSP deduction to use in 2016" filled in with the appropriate amount, I think I'm fine because I am not trying to deduct $20,009. I am only deducting $10,009.

Also: I feel that if I put 0 in the box that says "First 60 days of 2017" that CRA won't carry this amount over when I file my 2017 return.
Did you ever check what flowed through to Schedule 7 and whether it made sense?

I've just done the first run through on my son's return that involves two RRSP receipts, one for Mar - Dec 2016 and the second for Jan - Feb 2017. UFile handled the various RRSP contribution boxes as expected without generating an error and Schedule 7 reflects the various unused contributions, RRSP receipts and choices on amounts to deduct as expected.

OP should probably also make sure he downloads the latest patches/updates before replying.
