I'm not exactly sure what is causing your problem, but I might have an alternate way of setting things up that could help you. When we nuget our umbraco sites, we only nuget the UmbracoCms.Core package. This gives us all the dlls and references we need. It also makes it a lot easier for us to upgrade umbraco. The UmbracoCms.Core nuget package is something that you would already get automatically as a dependency by nugetting the whole UmbracoCms package.

We then take a zip of the version of umbraco we want and manually merge that into the project using a tool like BeyondCompare. We like to handle the rest of the files outside of nuget because sometimes those other files require special care when merging during an upgrade.
