Description

### Describe the bug

Hello,

When I add
```xmlns:controls="using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls"```
And
```



```
To StackPanel, the Window does not initialize anymore with cryptic error: XAML parsing failed.

I think the issue is how I initialize resources:
```
protected override void OnLaunched(Microsoft.UI.Xaml.LaunchActivatedEventArgs args)
{
XamlControlsXamlMetaDataProvider.Initialize();
xamlMetaDataProvider = new();
this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.XamlControlsResources());
//this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new Microsoft.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary() { Source = new Uri("ms-appx:///CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.Segmented/Themes/Generic.xaml") });

}
```
If I uncomment my attempt to load Segmented, it fails on COM Exception.

### Steps to reproduce

https://github.com/castorix/WPF_XAML_Islands_WinUI3/tree/master

Clone this repo, update to newest WinUI SDK, add CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Segmented and add Segmented. Same issue.
