Torbrowser crashes on start when using MS EMET 5.x

Trying to start the Tor Browser on Win7 x64 SP1 with MS EMET 5.1 installed and firefox.exe added to it leads to the following crash of firefox.exe:

EMET detected SimExecFlow mitigation and will close the application: firefox.exe

SimExecFlow check failed: Application : D:\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe User Name : XYZ\XYZ Session ID : 1 PID : 0x1280 (4736) TID : 0x12C8 (4808) CodeAddress : 0x62B5EEF2 CodeStackPtr : 0x3CF190 CalledAddress : 0x77324AFF API name : kernel32.VirtualProtectEx StackPtr : 0x003CF130 FramePtr : 0x763298

IMHO it should be possible or even best practise to use Tor Browser together with EMET. Perhas a core developer can take a look at this. If you need more information, let me know.
