This is my first mailing list mail, so please tell me if I'm doing
something wrong :)

This works this way for me using rc1.

How about this workaround:
* Right click the project and select Settings (or similar, I'm using the
Swedish translation)
* Go to the "Configuration > Debug > Custom Commands" page
* In the dropdown select Custom Command
* In the directory entry, write "${TargetDir}"
* As command, set mv "NuxDll/* ./"

I haven't actually tested this since it's working already, but you could
try if you have no way of upgrading. Or are you using the same version?
