I seriously doubt that Microsoft would attempt to claim copyright on outputs from their tools. Their entire ecosystem would crumble if they tried to claim such ownership.
My issue is with putting *any* generated files into version control. That just doesn't make sense because it means that you can get skew between the inputs and the (checked-in) outputs. Each developer should be generating the outputs based on whatever inputs are in their working copy. That ensures that the outputs are always synchronized.
