Description
### Describe the bug
When running the gallery with the Wasdk head on the latest `main` commit, the 'Shadows overview' sample will crash the app:

Exception message:
> Specified cast is not valid.
Stack trace:
```
at WinRT.ExceptionHelpers.g__Throw|38_0(Int32 hr)
at ABI.Microsoft.UI.Xaml.IFrameworkElementOverridesMethods.MeasureOverride(IObjectReference _obj, Size availableSize)
at Microsoft.UI.Xaml.FrameworkElement.MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)

at ABI.Microsoft.UI.Xaml.IFrameworkElementOverrides.Do_Abi_MeasureOverride_0(IntPtr thisPtr, Size availableSize, Size* result)
```
This behavior is not present when running the gallery under UWP.

```text
1. Clone the repo
2. Generate the gallery solution, include the Media component and the wasdk multitarget/head.
3. Build and deploy the wasdk gallery
4. Navigate to the 'Shadows overview' sample page and observe crash.
