Not a feedback for this PR, but as an FYI, we can probably automate this test this by creating a C# compilation context and triggering a compilation on it and then checking for diagnostics. An example of this is the diagnostics test which Joshua wrote which do this.

My main concern with this technique is that when _inner is disposed before its owner is finalized, the finalizer has no chance to detach and the refcount is too low by 1. Since finalizers can run on any thread, in any order, I'm not confident that keeping the inner refcount artificially low is a reliable fix here. In fact, I think any approach that tries to do so is doomed. There's just no safe way to defer an AddRef while still holding onto a COM pointer - it's a time bomb.
