Had the same issue as we use temp table for staging. After spending some time, found a work around.

In the OLE DB/ADO Destination of Data flow task where you specify the name of the staging table .

Change the AccessMode property to SQL command instead of OpenRowSet and specify SQL Command property to "select * from #temp".

Hurray, Its working as expected.

Catch here is when you specify Access mode other than SQL Command, SSIS expects that to be a table / view and it changed the SSIS to call sp_describe_first_result_set to get the meta data. but when you specify SQL Command, it's expecting a query or SP command etc. so luckily it still uses the old way of getting the meta data .
