For what it's worth, the (24,0) means the function returns "void", and
(8204,3) means the parameter is an IN/OUT parameter that is an array of
variants.
Given that, I'm a little confused as to why your original test -- where
you passed the list of 12 items -- didn't work. As an experiment, you
could try changing that to say (8204,11), which means "in/out and this
is the return value", but I'm not hopeful.
We may need to get Mark Hammond involved in this. He has more
in-the-trenches experience here than anyone.

Have you tried calling GetComponents with this object? This is a
late-bound object, which means it fetches the names of the methods and
properties on the fly.
