Microsoft Surface, TPM and Bitlocker issues

If I clear the TPM, the Surface will reboot and prompt me with an American Megatrends "TPM Page" BIOS/UEFI page.

Press F12 to enable, activate, clear, enable, and activate the TPM

Press Esc to reject this change request and continue

I can then clear the TPM, and it resets to a "The TPM is ready for use." state.

At this point when I go to enable Bitlocker I get the message "Group Policy settings require that a recovery password be specified before encrypting the drive".  Surface Pro #1 was able to come out of Sysprep and backup it's keys correctly and required nothing further to enable Bitlocker.  I was hoping that after clearing the TPM, Surface Pro #2 would be able to do the same, but it seems at some point, #2 is not backing up keys to AD.
