SlSvcUtil ignores MessageHeader properties

Question

To show my problem I created a simple WCF service with operations that use a message class with [MessageContract] attribute. This message contains the MyHeader property and is annotated with the [MessageHeader] attribute.

[MessageContract] public class HeaderedMessage
{
    [MessageHeader] public string MyHeader { get; set; }
}

[ServiceContract] public interface IService
{
    [OperationContract] void GetDataUsingDataContract(HeaderedMessage headered);
}

public class Service : IService
{
    public void GetDataUsingDataContract(HeaderedMessage headered) { }
}

Then I tried to generate the proxy classes for Silverlight 4 (or 5) using SlSvcUtil.exe:

slsvcutil.exe http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/MessageHeaderedService/?wsdl

Without any warning the message headers are totally ignored in the generated classes. Hence the HeaderedMessage does not contain any property at all.

[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "4.0.0.0")]
[System.ServiceModel.MessageContractAttribute(WrapperName="HeaderedMessage", WrapperNamespace="http://tempuri.org/", IsWrapped=true)]
public partial class HeaderedMessage
{
    public HeaderedMessage()
    {
    }
}

I did not find any information at MSDN or through Google search about this weired behaviour. Has anybody else issues with this?

I also tried to use Portable Class Libraries extension to use the IService contract directly through ChannelFactory within the Silverlight application. As the System.ServiceModel assemblies of Silverlight don't contain the MessageHeaderAttribute class it cannot be compiled.

Update: Missing generated WSDL and the WCF System.ServiceModel section:
