I'm trying to Boot Camp my Mac Pro (Late 2013, MacPro6,1).
You cannot partition an external disk, a RAID disk or an internal disk on which FileVault encryption is in progress.
Restart your computer using an internal disk that is not part of a RAID set or try it again after FileVault has completed.
Well, this is an internal SSD (an OWC Aura), and there's only one intentional partition; so I don't know why it's telling me this.

What steps can I take to install Windows on this volume? Preferably, I'd like to make Bootcamp “just work.”

Install the Aura SSD for Mac Pro driver and you should be good (direct d/l link).
It's obviously required for use with OS X Boot Camp utility.
