Err 01 with Mirror lock up and manual lens

When I enable the mirror lockup setting while using my manual Nikkor 180mm 2.8 ED (old) I get the message "ERR 01 Communication between Camera & Lens is Faulty Clean the Lens Contacts".

The lens is entirely manual (focus and aperture) and I am using a 5D mark II.

When I press the live view button, and mirror lock up still enabled, I can shoot normally.When I turn mirror lock up off, and do not touch anything else, I can shoot normally too. When I change the lens for the Canon 50mm 1.8 and have mirror lock up enabled I can shoot normally too.

The problem seems only to happen with the Nikkor and mirror lock up enabled. I have already cleaned the contacts between both and nothing changed.

The Nikon to Canon adapter I am using have a confirm focus chip. The exact model can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=120754967513&si=P8zYCyljnRvbVH5pHXOlt5Aaqms%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3AOU%3AUS%3A1123&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Have anyone experienced the same problem?
