ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta 1 Block Access to Razor views

Is there a way to block access (404) to the Razor views in MVC 3 beta 1? When I create a brand new blank site (IIS7) and then access /views/home/index.cshtml from the browser, instead of the 404 I get this

    [InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.Index_cshtml' to type 'System.Web.IHttpHandler'.]
   System.Web.WebPages.WebPageHttpHandler.CreateFromVirtualPath(String virtualPath, VirtualPathFactoryManager virtualPathFactoryManager) +56
   System.Web.WebPages.WebPageRoute.DoPostResolveRequestCache(HttpContextBase context) +253
   System.Web.WebPages.WebPageHttpModule.OnApplicationPostResolveRequestCache(Object sender, EventArgs e) +89
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +148
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +75

By default the web.config file in the views folder is set to block all file requests, but obviously this request is still getting through.

Steps to reproduce:
File -> New Project
ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application
Internet Application (Razor)
F5
Navigate to /views/home/index.cshtml
