Locbaml error when using VisualStateManager in Framework 3.5

Question

Hi, When I translated the Tester.WPF.resources.dll, I get an error. It's like the baml file have modified VisualStateGroup to an collection. I don't understand. The poject starts up without any problem in the default language, but if I change the culture, it crashes. I Rebuild it, still that error, even when a start from scratch. With this small test project and still get the same error:

Object of type 'System.Windows.VisualStateGroup' cannot be converted to type 'System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection`1[System.Windows.VisualStateGroup]'.

App code

 private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("fr-BE");
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("fr-BE");
        var dictionaryList = new List<Uri>();
        foreach (ResourceDictionary dictionary in Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries)
            dictionaryList.Add(dictionary.Source);
        Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();
        foreach (Uri uri in dictionaryList)
            Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary { Source = uri });
    }
}

Thanks for any suggestion.
