Thanks

This only means that if you are using SQL Server Compact edition, that this edition can only be a subscriber, not a publisher.
Here is more information on setting up merge replication between Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Compact 3.5.
Here is an example of a different subscriber than SQL Server Compact edition, a blogpost which sets up a Merge replication using SQL Server 2012 as the publisher and SQL Server 2008 R2 as the subscriber:
Yes that would be the cause. When the insert fails, the replication will then fail. Once the replication is in a failed state you've got to fix the problem within a few days before the subscription will expire and you'll need to reinit it.
