I have added a `some details' section which provides some technical details of the calculation leading to the stated result.
Feb 3, 2018 at 13:14 comment added Wakabaloola .. So I believe there is a mistake in the above calculation and the only subtle part is calculating the volume of CKG (because there are multiple regions where the integrand diverges, reminiscent of overlapping divergences in higher loop Feynman diagrams), so the mistake must be there but I cannot find it ..
Feb 3, 2018 at 13:04 comment added Wakabaloola @Rexcirus: the problem is independent of the delta function; such a non-vanishing contribution would give wrong S-matrix elements. In particular, one might imagine that this calculation is really just a contribution to the trivial part of the S matrix, i.e. the $\mathbb{1}$ in $S=\mathbb{1}+iT$, but this cannot be true because of two reasons: $I_2$ is imaginary and secondly contains a delta function in all $D$ spacetime dimensions rather than $D-1$ as one would expect from the $\mathbb{1}$ in standard QFT. So I
