Upgrade from .net 4 to 4.5 breaks Html.Raw call in Javascript

Question

I have the following code in a c# MVC 3 razor page where I am passing serialized data into a javascript variable for KnockoutJs:

    @{   
        var listDa

I have had the same thing happen, but it does so at random. What I have tried to resolve it is the following:

Make sure you can compile/build/debug in Debug mode, switch to Release mode and attempt to debug/publish from that mode. Switch back to Debug mode and re-attempt the publish.

Some combination of switching modes does the trick, I just can'y nail down what it is exactly. Once you get it working, don't close VS ;-)

Let's hope MS gets this fixed in SP1.
