On the ActivityLog I find these errors related to the extension assembly:

Researching a little, I'd venture a guess it's something to do with the way the project references are handled when the project was updated to VS2013: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25606632/how-can-a-vs-extension-target-multiple-versions-in-regard-to-microsoft-visualstu

For now, I've resorted to building an older version of the extension myself, with the commit from late April as HEAD, since there's no archive of older versions of this extension.

That fixed it. Thanks a lot!
