I just tried this myself, and I get the same problem as you with DXGI. However, I get correct behavior using DirectDraw (for vsync only, drawing with D3D11 / DXGISwapChain.

You can try it like this:

#include <ddraw.h>

typedef HRESULT (WINAPI * PFNDIRECTDRAWCREATE)(GUID FAR* lpGUID, LPDIRECTDRAW FAR* lplpDD, IUnknown FAR* pUnkOuter);

load() {
	HMODULE hDDrawLib = LoadLibrary(TEXT("ddraw.dll"));
	if(hDDrawLib == NULL) {
		// fail
	}

	PFNDIRECTDRAWCREATE pDirectDrawCreate = (PFNDIRECTDRAWCREATE)GetProcAddress(hDDrawLib, "DirectDrawCreate");
	if(pDirectDrawCreate == NULL) {
		// fail
	}

	LPDIRECTDRAW pDDraw;
	HRESULT hResult = pDirectDrawCreate(NULL, &pDDraw, NULL);
	if(FAILED(hResult)) {
		// fail
	}
}

vsync() {
	pDDraw->WaitForVerticalBlank(DDWAITVB_BLOCKEND, NULL);
	pDDraw->WaitForVerticalBlank(DDWAITVB_BLOCKBEGIN, NULL);
}

vsync_alternative() {
	BOOL vb = TRUE;
	while(vb == TRUE)
		pDDraw->GetVerticalBlankStatus(&vb);
	while(vb == FALSE)
		pDDraw->GetVerticalBlankStatus(&vb);
}

release() {
	pDDraw->Release();
	FreeLibrary(hDDrawLib);
}

loop() {
	vsync();
	pSwapChain->Present(0, 0);
}

I'm not sure how well this plays with frame-buffering.. perhaps you want to query your device for an IDXGIDevice1, and if it exists use SetMaximumFrameLatency(1).
