Why do lambda expressions in VB differ from C#?

I just came across a bug in NHibernate which happens to already be raised: https://nhibernate.jira.com/browse/NH-2763

I'm not sure if this applies to anything else other than enums but when using a Lambda from VB, it looks different to the same Lambda from C#.

C#:

Where(x => x.Status == EmployeeStatus.Active)

VB

Where(Function(x) x.Status = EmployeeStatus.Active)

They are the same as far as I'm aware? (My VB isn't great)

If I put a break point on the same line of code, where the above code is passed into. In C# I get:

On the same line when VB version is passed in, I get:

Is this something I'm doing wrong? Is the result's the same, just displayed different between C#/VB?

Edit: Ok so they are displayed different, but they can't be the same because NHibernate cannot handle it. The C# version is handled perfectly fine by NHibernate, the VB version resolves in the following exception being thrown:

So something must be different between the two?

Edit 2:

For Jonathan. This is the method where the expression is used:

public IEnumerable<Employee> GetByEntityId(long entityId, Expression<Func<Employee, bool>> basicCriteria)
{
    IEnumerable<Employee> result;

    using (var tx = Session.BeginTransaction())
    {
        var employeeQuery = Session.QueryOver<Employee>()
                                    .Where(x => x.EntityId == entityId);

        if (basicCriteria != null)
            employeeQuery = employeeQuery.Where(basicCriteria);

        result = employeeQuery.List();

        tx.Commit();
    }

    return result;
}
