Closed Unassigned: update-database with connection string failing [1414]

This is further to issue 1387, which was closed before I had a chance to try it with the latest nightly build. I have now done this with the July 18th build and I no longer receive the beta error "The argument 'serverName' cannot be null, empty or contain only white space.", but I do now receive the error "__The ConnectionString property has not been initialized__."

I reproduced the original error on a local database once I turned on SQL authentication, and tried the same command with the July 18th build. Note that this worked with EF5. The command is:

update-database -ConnectionString "Server=localhost;Database=LaZookTest;User Id=sa;Password=mypassword;" -ConnectionProviderName "System.Data.SqlClient"

Here is the output including stack trace, starting from after the migrations have (successfully) executed:
