Description

We have some tests, but there are significant gaps. Any additional coverage here will help keep this code in good shape for the next few decades. :)

Help here is appreciated. Live on the bleeding edge of the mid-nineties. :)

Supporting this scenario is important for Windows Forms customers with legacy dependencies. This code is how Visual Basic 6 (VB6) controls are supported, and we plan to add specific tests for that scenario as well. See #8253.
