I am not sure this is worth trying. My experiences with Microsoft 
Support are rather frustrating. The best I got so far was the
acknowledgment of an obvious bug including the statement that 
they don't see any reason to act on it...

I certainly see a technical reason for not considering properties:
They are highly dynamic and ICEs (can) do only statical analysis.
So "it won't really work".

However, it does not really "work" the way it is either because
statical analysis means that the ICEs check things that are
never relevant (annoying, but not necessarily bad) _and_ they
do not check things that are relevant. This is not only also 
annoying but gives a false impression of security, too.
