How can I use ng-animate with ui-view rather than ng-view?

I am using angular-ui-router with angularJS v1.2 and would like to implement custom page transitions.
How can I use ng-animate with ui-view (from angular-ui-router) rather than ng-view (which would be the standard way)? See Remastered Animation in AngularJS 1.2 for reference on ng-view.

EDIT: I have tried two different versions of angular: v1.2.0-rc.2 and v1.2.0-rc.3 as suggested in the comments, but neither seems to do the trick. I guess I might be doing something wrong?

Here is the HTML:

<div ui-view class="slide"></div>

and the CSS:

.slide {
    width:1024px;
    height:768px;
}
.slide.ng-enter,
.slide.ng-leave {
    -webkit-transition:0.5s linear all;
    -moz-transition:0.5s linear all;
    -o-transition:0.5s linear all;
    transition:0.5s linear all;
    border: 1px solid blue;
}

.slide.ng-enter.ng-enter-active {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

I added a JSfiddle of the previously mentioned example. It would be nice to expand this example to cover ng-view and ui-view, but I'm not sure how to get ng/ui-view and the partials into JSfiddle, though.

The bug is now closed and they've added an entry over at the ui-router Wiki. It also includes a demo Plunkr. I will copy the code example here, just in case the URL would become outdated.

HTML:

<div class="row">
   <div class="span12 ui-view-container">
      <div class="well" ui-view></div>        
   </div>
</div> 

CSS:

/* Have to set height explicity on ui-view 
to prevent collapsing during animation*/
.well[ui-view]{
 height: 65px; 
}

.ui-view-container {
  position: relative;
}

[ui-view].ng-enter, [ui-view].ng-leave {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  -webkit-transition:all .5s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition:all .5s ease-in-out;
    -o-transition:all .5s ease-in-out;
    transition:all .5s ease-in-out;
}

[ui-view].ng-enter {
  opacity: 0;
  -webkit-transform:scale3d(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
  -moz-transform:scale3d(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
  transform:scale3d(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);
}

[ui-view].ng-enter-active {
  opacity: 1;
  -webkit-transform:scale3d(1, 1, 1);
  -moz-transform:scale3d(1, 1, 1);
  transform:scale3d(1, 1, 1);
}

[ui-view].ng-leave {
  opacity: 1; 
  -webkit-transform:translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  -moz-transform:translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  transform:translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}

[ui-view].ng-leave-active {
  opacity: 0;
  -webkit-transform:translate3d(100px, 0, 0);
  -moz-transform:translate3d(100px, 0, 0);
  transform:translate3d(100px, 0, 0);
}
