Research direction

Start with the attached GraphicsViewShadowIssue.zip reproduction and run it on Windows with .NET MAUI 9.0.90 SR9. Trigger Shadow updates through the input fields or buttons using data binding and inspect the GraphicsView Shadow path when the COMException occurs; done means updates complete without exceptions and the shadow changes are reflected immediately.
