Hm, is this a bug in Autocad, or is comtypes behaving wrong here; does this
error code mean we have to wait a little and retry the call? How do other
COM clients, like VB or pywin32, behave?

With this remark I assume you mean the code below, right?

In comtypes 0.4.1, safearrays containing com pointers are not implemented.
They are, though, in the current SVN version. I wanted to release the next
version
after another MicroStation bug was examined, but the OP did not yet respond to
my question. Maybe you can help; or I should release anyway? See
