This is not currently supported.

VS11 is currently in Beta to enable testing and familiarity with the new version. It exists to enable you in "preparing for the next generation of development". It is not intended to be used as a primary development environment for older technologies.

Looks like the best interim solution for WP7 dev on Windows 8.
