Issue with PowerShell 4 AD Module on Windows 8.1

Just a quick note that I am seeing some issue with the new PowerShell 4.0 ActiveDirectory Module on Windows 8.1 when retrieving user properties.

PS> get-aduser adil -properties *

get-aduser : One or more properties are invalid.

Parameter name: msDS-AssignedAuthNPolicy

At line:1 char:1

+ get-aduser adil -properties *

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (hindia01:ADUser) [Get-ADUser], ArgumentException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ActiveDirectoryCmdlet:System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.Commands.GetADUser

The property 'msDS-AssignedAuthNPolicy' it is complaining about seems to be a new one implemented on Windows Server 2012 R2, according to MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn366549.aspx
You can specify the properties you want manually, except that one of course. Hopefully, Microsoft will fix it by the time Windows 8.1 GA on October 18, 2013.

Update 2014-01-09:
I kinda forgot about this issue but it's still not fixed. You can workaround this issue by piping the user object to Get-ADObject cmdlet:

Get-ADUser Adil | Get-ADObject -properties *



By the way, Get-ADComputer cmdlet has the same issue and same workaround can be applied to it.
There is also a bug filed for it here: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806452/windows-8-1-powershell-4-0-get-adcomputer-properties-bug#

Update 2014-03-15
Fixed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2923122

Update 2014-03-17
Unfortunately the fix does not seem to work for me. I installed the update rollup March 2014 via WSUS so I already had i for a few days and file information is listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2928680

I have these files (see the screenshot below) yet I still get the same error as before.
