Lock screen Badge Logo using Small Logo instead ?

Question

I've set up a background task which asks for lock screen permissions and all the functionality is working fine.

However the guidelines say the icon must be monochrome; not a big issue, I've converted mine happily.

In the PC Settings the monochrome icon is showing fine as expected.

However when I trigger a badge update and flip to the lock screen it appears to be using the Small Icon from my manifest rather than the monochrome icon.

My manifest looks as below:

<VisualElements DisplayName="app" Logo="Assets\Logo.png" SmallLogo="Assets\SmallLogo.png" Description="app" ForegroundText="dark" BackgroundColor="white" ToastCapable="true">
        <LockScreen Notification="badgeAndTileText" BadgeLogo="Assets\BadgeLogo.png" />
        <DefaultTile ShowName="allLogos" WideLogo="Assets\WideLogo.png" />
        <SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
      </VisualElements>

Is this something I have code based control over and haven't done, or is this something the VisualStudio builder should be doing and is getting wrong?

I don't want to make my Small Icon monochrome, so if there is another solution I'd love to hear it!

Thanks.

MrChris2000,

have you tried comparing your code to the following sample:  http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Lock-screen-apps-sample-9843dc3a
