Can't run Heat project on VS2013 .vcxproj

[wixbot]

When I create a new, empty MFC application in VS 2013 and run the vcxproj file through Heat with "-pog Binaries", I get this error:

error HEAT5305: Failed to load project testapp.vcxproj: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Xml.XmlComment' to type 'System.Xml.XmlElement'

If I create the MFC app in VS 2010 instead, it works.
It seems to have something to do with the "ToolsVersion" attribute in the vcxproj file. It's set to 12.0 in the file made in VS 2013 and if I change it to 4.0 and delete any "PlatformToolset" elements from the file, it works.

(I'm new to WiX, so it's possible I'm doing something wrong. I asked in wix-users first, but got no response (yet).)

This seems to happen for any native project, it doesn't appear to be MFC specific.
