Twitter Bootstrap for ASP.Net MVC 4 - jQuery 1.9 and jQuery.Validate.js

Question

I'm having an issue with the Twitter Bootstrap for ASP.Net MVC

Check out http://nuget.org/packages/twitter.bootstrap.mvc4

Using Visual Studio 2012, in a blank MVC 4 template, I have simply run the NuGet package installer for "Install-Package twitter.bootstrap.mvc4.sample", which includes "Install-Package twitter.bootstrap.mvc4" and jQuery 1.9 as a dependency.

Everything builds fine at compile time, but as soon as I debug the project I get a critical javascript error:

jquery-1.9.0.min.map Error

JavaScript critical error at line 1, column 11 in http://localhost:10277/Scripts/jquery-1.9.0.min.map
SCRIPT1004: Expected ';'

If I continue then I keep getting javascript errors raised from the web browser virtually ANY time I try to interact with the webpage:

jQuery.Validate.js Error

Unhandled exception at line 1152, column 5 in http://localhost:10277/Scripts/jquery.validate.js
0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'call' of undefined or null reference

I can't replace jQuery 1.9 with an earlier version as nugget won't allow me to uninstall jQuery or add an earlier version over the top.

I've always been a string back end developer but kind of new to this front-end stuff. Trying to do this the right way, but seems like it's harder than it ought to be.

Any ideas? What should be my starting point?
