Result of my connect Bug for empty collection always returned

I've registered a Connect bug report since I cannot get this work as expected. The following code, which I expect to be MANGLED by this awful comment editor, returns an empty collection. $0 $0        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            // Testing bug in VSM:
            //
            var vsg = VisualStateManager.GetVisualStateGroups(sender as FrameworkElement);$0 $0
