Just to let anybody else know who cant find a working solution easily in this long thread, I had the exact same issue and i solved it in the same way as suggested in edits found at the bottom of the actual question!

I started a new project MVC4 Web Application, created routes for bootstrap bundles in the exact same code shown above:

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
            "~/Content/bootstrap.min.css",
            "~/Content/bootstrap-responsive.min.css",
            "~/Content/site.css"));

But due to unknown reasons, it was not loading.. Finally i gave up and decided to google it and found this page.

I tried adding the following as the first line in BundleConfig.cs file. Recompiled and everything started working and now the styles were correctly being loaded now.

bundles.IgnoreList.Clear();

Maybe this helps somebody.
