Sanjoy,
We have to handle the same thing here (though we just go to project then
back to binary compatibility).
Here is a snippet of our build script that we use to handle this
automatically:
-----------------------------------------
<exec program="vb6.exe"
commandline="/m "${path::combine(srcroot,vbp)}"
${conditional.compile} /outdir
"${path::combine(srcroot,project.module)}" /out build.error"
resultproperty="vb6.result"
failonerror="false"
/>
<!-- <echo message="vb6 returned ${vb6.result}"/> -->
<if test="${int::parse(vb6.result) != 0}">
<if test="${file::exists('build.error')}">
<property name="build.error.file"
value="${file::get-file('build.error')}" />
<if test="${string::contains(build.error.file,'The binary
compatibility DLL or EXE contains a parameter type or return type whose
definition can not be found') or string::contains(build.error.file,
'BadImplementsRefInCompatLib')}">
<!-- <echo message="ok here"/>
<fail message="vb6.exe returned failure."/> -->
<echo message="${vbp::setvalue(vbp,
'^CompatibleMode=.*', '"1"')}"/>
<exec program="vb6.exe"
commandline="/m
"${path::combine(srcroot,vbp)}" ${conditional.compile} /outdir
"${path::combine(srcroot,project.module)}" /out build.error"
/>
<echo message="${vbp::setvalue(vbp,
'^CompatibleMode=.*', '"2"')}"/>
<exec program="vb6.exe"
commandline="/m
"${path::combine(srcroot,vbp)}" ${conditional.compile} /outdir
"${path::combine(srcroot,project.module)}" /out build.error"
/>
</if>
<ifnot test="${string::contains(build.error.file,'The binary
compatibility DLL or EXE contains a parameter type or return type whose
definition can not be found') or string::contains(build.error.file,
'BadImplementsRefInCompatLib')}">
<fail message="vb6.exe failed. Not a binary
problem?"/>
</ifnot>
</if>
<ifnot test="${file::exists('build.error')}">
<fail message="vb6.exe returned failure. No build.error
file!"/>
</ifnot>
</if>
-----------------------------------------
I'm not using the VB6 task because it didn't have conditional compile
options at the time (I think it does now). I haven't looked to see if you
can save off the result file either.
file::get-file is a custom script we have to load a file into a property.
There is a NAnt equivalent for that now (loadfile?) that should work here.
I posted a few other VBP nant scripts a few months ago, you may want to
search for those and see if you find them useful. Hope this helps.

Subject: [nant-dev] [Help][Nant-Users][USE NANT To Compile VB6.0 Code]
Dear All,
I want to know can I use NANT to compile VB6.0 code.
In VB6.0 we have the problem of compiling DLLs and OCX files which
very offen breaks compatibility and we have to compile 3 stages.
1.No Compatibility
2.Project Compatibity
3.Class Compatibity
I request to provide me a solution to this problem.
Thanks
Sanjoy
