We are working on porting a WPF application and we are seeing a lot of InvalidOperationExceptions being thrown and usually handled when performing actions like opening menus.

Here is the exception information:

System.InvalidOperationException
HResult=0x80131509
Message=This type has a ComVisible(false) parent in its hierarchy, therefore QueryInterface calls for IDispatch or class interfaces are disallowed.
Source=
StackTrace:

And here is a typical call stack:

Our assemblies are marked as ComVisible(false) for the most part.
Sometimes there are hundreds of exception being thrown when opening a menu and usually they do not cause problems other than making the debug experience miserable.

@ericstj is there a better home for this issue?

This should go into CoreFx.
