vdisk gets converted to type fixed from expandable during installation to native VHD...

I've tried everyway to Sunday to get work-arounds for this but I'm stumped...

I am breaking into the Windows 8.1 with Update installation after adding my license, and creating a setup to use Native VHD to install to.

I create a vdisk type=expandable, yet at some point during the installation it is getting converted to fixed!

I've tried everything I could think of including formatting it while in the CLI prior to refreshing the volumes, and selecting the VHD disk volume for installation.  Yet, after the installation is complete... the "actual" vdisk file should only be around 11-14GB (regardless of the maximum size during its' creation with diskpart), however... sure enough, after Windows has finished doing its' thing and rebooting... the file ends up being the same size as the maximum property provided during the vdisk creation with diskpart.... it should not be, it was of type "expandable" >.<

Why is this happening?
