FWIW, the wmi method signature is simply a summary of whatever
the .InParameters & .OutParameters give for that method. Not
sure what PowerShell's doing differently here.

The __setattr__ logic does involve a certain level of cacheing
and redirection, so there definitely is scope for an error in
the WMI code, especially as WMI is most often a read-only or
a method-set technology. (ie the __setattr__ logic probably
hasn't been exercised as much as it might have).

I've contacted the OP off-list to see if we can take it further
with a direct connection.
