Today I finally decided to file a bug for it on Microsoft Connect in the hopes it could be fixed some day. Before I filed the bug I searched the existing issues to see if others had reported the same problem already. And then I found this. Turns out, it's not a bug but it's by design. When you are running Visual Studio with administrative privileges it runs in a different security context than the Windows Explorer process. Windows then prohibits the two processes from communicating with each other.
There's no way around this other than turning off User Account Control.
Now at least I know what's causing this which makes it easier to work around or live with it.
Check out the reported issue on the Microsoft Connect site.
Wonder where to go next?
