Modern invertors monitor the current in the phases to apply feedback to the control electronics. Running two motors in parallel which may run at different speeds due to varying loading may confuse the feedback circuits. I would not try it unless the manufacturer says it is ok to run like that. You may just keep getting false fault reports that shut down the invertor at the worst possible time (is there a good time?).
