I too come across the same issue. In my case I tried with MS Flow as in below screenshot
So, instead of using below URI,
https://<companyName>.sharepoint.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/SetSingleValueProfileProperty
I used the below URI and able to update the Property successfully. And the account I used is Global Admin.
https://<companyName>-admin.sharepoint.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/SetSingleValueProfileProperty
Also, able to perform this action for UserProperties that are not set to 'Allow users to edit values for this property'
Hope this is helpful!
