New .NET feature bundle and minification {version} wildcard doesn't work with directories?

Question

I have the following pice of code which runs perfectly:

bundles.Add
(
    new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/scripts")
    .Include
    (
        "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery-ui-{version}.js"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive*"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"
        ,"~/Scripts/fullcalendar-1.5.4/fullcalendar.js"
        , "~/Scripts/DataTables-1.9.3/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"
    )
);

But then I want to use the {version} wildcard to use all of it's nifty features:

bundles.Add
(
    new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/scripts")
    .Include
    (
        "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery-ui-{version}.js"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive*"
        ,"~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"
        , "~/Scripts/fullcalendar-{version}/fullcalendar.js"
        , "~/Scripts/DataTables-{version}/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"
    )
);

and BANG, exception, it doesn't work, am I doing something wrong?

EDIT

Exception info: System.ArgumentException:

Directory does not exist. Parameter name: directoryVirtualPath

It'll might be helpful for anyone reading this to know what exception. =) — J. Steen

That is correct, currently the {version} expression is only supported as part of the file, its not used while doing directory walking. This is something that we will look into fixing in a future version.

I filed an issue for this here on codeplex.

Please vote it up if this is something you feel strongly about us fixing.
