to work source maps correctly you need patch node_modules/karma-webpack/index.js

// replace this
webpackOptions.output.filename = "[name]";
// by that
webpackOptions.output.filename = "[name].js";

// find this line
Plugin.prototype.readFile = function(file, callback) {
    // insert this lines
	var origFile = file;
	file += '.js';
	
// Replace 
this.waiting.push(process.nextTick.bind(process, this.readFile.bind(this, file, callback)));
// to that
this.waiting.push(process.nextTick.bind(process, this.readFile.bind(this, origFile, callback)));

This worked for me with the following updates:

• Used npm install @types/jasmine --save-dev instead of typings install dt~jasmine --global --save
• added the mime: { 'text/x-typescript': ['ts','tsx'] }, to the karma.conf.js file as mentioned above
• Made sure to add "sourceMap": true, inside the compilerOptions in the tsconfig.json file

Also, you don't need to patch the karma-webpack package if you replace devtool: 'inline-source-map', with

plugins: [
new webpack.SourceMapDevToolPlugin({
filename: null, // if no value is provided the sourcemap is inlined
test: /\.(ts|js)($|\?)/i, // process .js and .ts files only
exclude: [ /node_modules/ ]
})
]

in the karma.conf.js file along with requiring webpack (var webpack = require("webpack");)
