Adding Entity via Many To Many No Payload

I have a many to many with no payload set up. The Navigation properties show up just fine in the EDMX, and all displays correctly in the gui if I manually create the records and association record in the db.

The data setup is   Contacts --> ContactCompany <-- Company

All of this works fine until I try to add a company in code. The company entity is created and saved, but no record is created in the ContactCompany table, so the association is not created.

I downloaded and tried the ManyToMany No Payload sample. It has a function in it where it creates a new Territory and it associates it with an employee. I modified it to SaveChanges() to see if that works, but it does not seem to actually create the many to many record. It does create the Territory Entity, but the association is lost. So it appears there is a bug in this sample.

This is my code:


CompanyEntity newEntity = new CompanyEntity(this.SelectedContact.OwnedBy);
this.ContactEntityManager.AddEntity(newEntity);
this.SelectedContact.CompanyEntities.Add(newEntity);
this.ContactEntityManager.SaveChangesAsync();

Note this is NOT using codefirst, just the regular edmx.
