Same issue here, except that I'm using "e.Cancel = true" in OnBackKeyPress to defer the navigation to a later time (to allow for some extra processing to occur on the page), and then, when I finally "NavigationService.GoBack()", the navigation source page (or a bitmap image of it) stays visible atop the destination page (albeit with some transparency). Also, I noticed that the order in which some events are fired on the page that's being navigated from is different from the order of a normal navigation. Specifically, the Page_Unloaded event is fired before the OnNavigatedFrom override is called. But this may be a side effect of the transition not fully honoring the "e.Cancel = true" in its processing of this specific scenario.
I had to disable the back transition for that specific page, but I'd love to see this issue fixed.
