InvalidOperationException - "Cannot perform this operation while dispatcher processing is suspended."

Question

I have a WPF application in .NET 4.5.  The latest version of the map control (version 1.0.1.0) is causing an issue if it is used within a datatemplate.  This does not happen with the previous version I was using from Nuget (version 1.0.0.0).  As
an aside, what happened to the Nuget package?  Anyways, it is easy to reproduce the issue:
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="MicrosoftMapError.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow"
Content="{Binding ViewModel,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Views/MapView.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
</Window>
MainWindow.cs:
using MicrosoftMapError.ViewModels;
using System.Windows;
namespace MicrosoftMapError
public partial class MainWindow : Window
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
this.ViewModel = new MapViewModel();
public object ViewModel
get { return (object)GetValue(ViewModelProperty); }
set { SetValue(ViewModelProperty, value); }
public static readonly DependencyProperty ViewModelProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"ViewModel",
typeof(object),
typeof(MainWindow));
MapView.xaml:
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:wpf="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF"
xmlns:viewModels="clr-namespace:MicrosoftMapError.ViewModels">
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewModels:MapViewModel}">
<Grid>
<wpf:Map />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
The MapViewModel class is just an empty class, there is nothing to show there.
And this is the stack trace for the exceptions.
Outer exception: XamlParseException - The invocation of the constructor on type 'Microsoft.Maps.MapControl.WPF.Map' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.

Are dev team has looked into this and I believe they have found the issue. They are working on putting together a new release. Also, Microsoft never officially released a Nuget package, someone just took some old buggy libraries and posted them on Nuget
without asking Microsoft. We are planning to make an official Nuget package.
