SSAS: Deploying to renamed databases

Last year I logged an issue on the connect site around deploying from BIDS and renamed databases. https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=281595

I got a couple of messages relating to this issue, one saying that it was being closed as it was a duplicate issue and then another one recently where it was updated to indicate that the issue has been fixed in SQL Server 2008. I think it is really great to get this sort of feedback that something is being done, unfortunately it does not appear to be accurate as I recently tested this issue on SQL Server 2008 RTM and it still appears to be there.

So what exactly is this issue? Well, try out the following steps on a dev machine.
