I just got bit by this one too. I am dynamically building up a Linq
Expression to do address matching and it is generating an expression
that looks like ((address.Street.BeginsWith("First") == True) AndAlso
(address.City.BeginsWith("New York") == True)). I cloned this as
NH-2514 and will attach a failing test shortly.
