Research direction
Start by tracing the form import step that attempts to add the HTML control and produces the VS403106 message shown in the issue. Check how command options and import errors are handled, then add an “IgnoreErrors on Forms” option whose behavior is to continue past this specific form error; verify the migration still reports other failures.
