Weird WriteableBitmap FromStream issue

I am desperately trying to load a WriteableBitmap with the FromStream extension method.

The code below throws a System.InvalidOperationException at the FromStream() call with the following information:

BitmapImage has not been initialized. Call the BeginInit method, set the appropriate properties, and then call the EndInit method.

I verified that the image exists and it's build action is set to Resource. The image is valid (I loaded it into a BitmapImage) and the stream has the correct length.

var sri = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("dummy.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
if (sri != null)
{
    using (var stream = sri.Stream)
    {
        // creates the bitmap, part of the writeablebitmapextensions on WPF
        var wb = BitmapFactory.New(1, 1); 
        wb.FromStream(stream); // <--- Exception
    }
}

The error seems to indicate the extension method uses a BitmapImage internally in an incorrect way, which I find hard to belive. I'm using WriteableBitmapEx.Wpf 1.0.14.0

What could be causing this exception? There is no other code running in my application.

The FromStream method in WriteableBitmapConvertExtensions.cs, line 367, seems to be broken. It is missing the BeginInit and EndInit calls on the BitmapImage:

public static WriteableBitmap FromStream(this WriteableBitmap bmp, Stream stream)
{
    var bmpi = new BitmapImage();
#if SILVERLIGHT
    bmpi.SetSource(stream);
    bmpi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.None;
#elif WPF
    bmpi.StreamSource = stream;
#endif
    bmp = new WriteableBitmap(bmpi);
    return bmp;
}

It should look like this:

public static WriteableBitmap FromStream(this WriteableBitmap bmp, Stream stream)
{
    var bmpi = new BitmapImage();
#if SILVERLIGHT
    bmpi.SetSource(stream);
    bmpi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.None;
#elif WPF
    bmpi.BeginInit();
    bmpi.StreamSource = stream;
    bmpi.EndInit();
#endif
    bmp = new WriteableBitmap(bmpi);
    return bmp;
}
