Windows App Certification Kit fail on Badge Logo dimensions

Question

In Visual Studio 2012 (11.0.51106.01 Update 1) the .appxmanifest for my Windows Store App has the image slot for the 140% size Badge Logo listed as 34x34 (pixels).

When I run Windows App Certification Kit 2.2 against the app it fails with:

"The image 'Assets\BadgeLogo.scale-140.png' failed the size restrictions of 33 X 33."

I resized the image to 33x33 but then Visual Studio fails with:

"App manifest references badge logo image 'Assets\BadgeLogo.scale-140.png' which has not valid dimensions. It must be 34x34 pixels."

Anybody else have this problem? If so can you provide any guidance on resolving it?
