Apologies for inconvenience on this, Acknowledged the issue is reproducible and product team is working towards fix, will update here accordingly.

Workaround suggested.

Use Azure CLI command to generate a token:

az staticwebapp hostname set -n MyStaticAppName --hostname example.com --validation-method "dns-txt-token"

Once executed, a TXT token will be generated. But the command will not complete until the validation complete. 

You can retrieve the token via Azure portal > Static Web App > Custom Domain. 

You can also retrieve the token with below Azure CLI command in a different command prompt:

az staticwebapp hostname show -n MyStaticAppName -g MyResourceGroup --hostname example.com --query "validationToken"

Please let us know if further query.
