Commented Issue: Cannot start from existing mean.io project [1108]

If you are not familiar with mean.io, it is a boilerplate/framework using the MEAN stack (Mongodb Express Angular Node.js, see http://mean.io).

The issue I encounter is that I cannot create a project "From existing Node.js code" with this setup.
1. mean init myApp
2. cd myApp && npm install (at this point we have a starter kit for an app using the MEAN stack)
3. In VS try to create a project "From Existing Node.js code", use the myApp folder
4. I see "Importing project" then "Ready" but the project does not open.
5. Try to open the .njsproj manually and you get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." then nothing

If you skip the npm install and create the project at this point, you will be able to see the files in the solution explorer but if you close/reopen the solution the project is broken and won't load.

There is something in there that Node.js tools for VS doesn't like in there but I could not figure out what.
Comments: I think that's mainly with the public dev build. I've been trying to get the current sources working but been having a bunch of other problems.
