You need to specify the correct Profile2 type, you can find this by:

Structures -> Profile types, Then use the machine name of the Profile type containing the field you'd like to use. It should then recognize your field name as is.

that would be "field_first_name", but that no good.

If you had 'field_first_name' in Profile2 type Personal Information having the machine name (personal_information), it would be set like this:

First name field: field_first_name
[x] Use the profile2 module to store your first names.
Profile 2 type: personal_information

It will then check to see if there is a first_name_field in the Profile2 entity, then check to see if it's a text field, etc. If it is, it will save successfully. I hope that is more clear, if you are still having troubles I can take a closer look for you.

Okay, got it. thanks!

perhaps use a syntax like personal_info.field_first_name would simplify this a whole lot and the UI and really easy to understand.

My trouble was with comprehending "Profile2 type". I didn't know what it was especially after reading the explaining text. How about making it a drop down menu?
