ASP.NET Pages not accepting base class with generic type.

This works:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Index.aspx.cs"
Inherits="MyBlog.Views.Home.Index" %>

This throws the exception below:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Index.aspx.cs"
Inherits="MyBlog.Views.Home.Index<MyBlog.Models.BlogList" %>

System.InvalidOperationException: The view 'Index' or its master could not be
found. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Home/Index.aspx
~/Views/HomeIndex.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
  at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResult.FindView (System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext
context) [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResultBase.ExecuteResult
(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext context) [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionResult
(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext controllerContext,
System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult actionResult) [0x00000]
  at
System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker+<>c__DisplayClass11.<InvokeActionResultWithFilters>b__e
() [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionResultFilter
(IResultFilter filter, System.Web.Mvc.ResultExecutingContext preContext,
System.Func`1 continuation) [0x00000]

BlogList is any class - it's just an example.

It works just fine with MS implementation.
It is needed for strongly-typed views in ASP.NET MVC.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a model class in Models folder called BlogList
2. Create a view
3. Make the view inherit from the generic version instead of the non-generic
one as shown in the details section.
4. Navigate to the action returning the view to see the exception.
Actual Results:  
System.InvalidOperationException: The view 'Index' or its master could not be
found. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Home/Index.aspx
~/Views/HomeIndex.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
  at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResult.FindView (System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext
context) [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ViewResultBase.ExecuteResult
(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext context) [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionResult
(System.Web.Mvc.ControllerContext controllerContext,
System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult actionResult) [0x00000]
  at
System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker+<>c__DisplayClass11.<InvokeActionResultWithFilters>b__e
() [0x00000]
  at System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionResultFilter
(IResultFilter filter, System.Web.Mvc.ResultExecutingContext preContext,
System.Func`1 continuation) [0x00000]

Expected Results:  
No exception is thrown AND the ViewData.Model instance is of the given type
instead of just a plain object.
