EF6 RC1: Many to many scaffolding results in model building errors (runtime)

See original GitHub issue

The relationship from ‘EmployeeTerritory (Dictionary<string, object>)’ to ‘Employee’ with foreign key properties {‘TerritoryId’ : string} cannot target the primary key {‘EmployeeId’ : int} because it is not compatible. Configure a principal key or a set of foreign key properties with compatible types for this relationship.

Having had a cup of Earl Grey tea, I can now confirm that build rtm.21468.2 fixes the issue!
