Windows Azure SDK returns unknown AccountType: undefined

Question

I'm trying to login via Windows Azure SDK on OSX. But I could not login because had gotten an error when I login: "Server returned an unknown AccountType: undefined". My Azure account is a Visual Studio Premium with MSDN. Also, the account has a spending limit yet, but I can create a Web Sites on Azure portal. Could you tell me what is wrong?

My work is here:

$ azure -v  
0.8.2  
$ azure login  
info:    Executing command login  
Username: MY_AZURE_ACCOUNT  
Password: **********  
If you choose to continue, Azure command-line interface will cache your authentication information. Note that this sensitive information will be stored in plain text on the file system of your computer at /Users/awwa/.azure/azureProfile.json. Ensure that you take suitable precautions to protect your computer from unauthorized access in order minimize the risk of that information being disclosed.  
Do you wish to continue: (y/n) y  
+ Authenticating...                                                            
error:   Server returned an unknown AccountType: undefined  
info:    Error information has been recorded to azure.err  
error:   login command failed

azure.err is here:

The azure login method only works with organizational account. if you use a MSAccount, you should use "azure account import" and .publishsettings file.
