For the benefit of people who encounter the same issue but are using Code First, check out my answer here about how to change the ProviderManifestToken in Code First. It involves creating a DbModelBuilder manually and passing a DbProviderInfo instance (with the appropriate token) when calling the model builder's Build method.
