Setting the maximize region of a win32 window using InputNonClientPointerSource secretly reverts back to default

[HO-COOH]

Describe the bug

I am using InputNonClientPointerSource to set the maximize button region of a win32 window (created with CreateWindow), but it secretly reverts back to default 32px width and position when the window is activated the second time. This event can even be caught using RegionsChanged event.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create a normal win32 window

static HWND CreateWin32Window()
{
    const wchar_t CLASS_NAME[] = L"Sample Window Class";

    WNDCLASS wc = {};
    wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc; // Pointer to the window procedure
    wc.lpszClassName = CLASS_NAME; // Window class name

    // Register the window class
    RegisterClass(&wc);

    // Create the window
    HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
        0,                              // Optional window styles
        CLASS_NAME,                     // Window class
        L"Sample Window",                // Window text
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,            // Window style

        // Size and position
        CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,

        NULL,       // Parent window
        NULL,       // Menu
        NULL,  // Instance handle
        NULL        // Additional application data
    );
    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);
    return hwnd;
}

2. Set the region

auto hwnd = CreateWin32Window();
auto windowId = winrt::Microsoft::UI::GetWindowIdFromWindow(hwnd);
auto appWindow = winrt::Microsoft::UI::Windowing::AppWindow::GetFromWindowId(windowId);
appWindow.TitleBar().ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar(true);
auto pointerSource = winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::InputNonClientPointerSource::GetForWindowId(windowId);
pointerSource.SetRegionRects(
    winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::NonClientRegionKind::Maximize,
    {
        winrt::Windows::Graphics::RectInt32
        {
            .X = 0,
            .Y = 0,
            .Width = 100,
            .Height = 100
        }
    }
);

pointerSource.RegionsChanged([](
    winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::InputNonClientPointerSource const& source, 
    winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::NonClientRegionsChangedEventArgs const& arg)
    {
        // filters the Maximize region change
        if (auto regions = arg.ChangedRegions(); 
            std::ranges::find(regions, winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::NonClientRegionKind::Maximize) != regions.end())
        {
            auto changedRegions = source.GetRegionRects(winrt::Microsoft::UI::Input::NonClientRegionKind::Maximize);
            for (auto region : changedRegions)
            {
                OutputDebugString(std::format(L"X: {}, Y: {}, Width: {}, Height: {}\n", region.X, region.Y, region.Width, region.Height).data()); // see this message!
            }
        }
    });

I also have this bug, but with the close, minimise and icon regions. Seems to reset whenever clicking any draggable area of the window or if the window is minimised and then restored. Pass through regions seem alright at least.

Seems to be the same issue as #9281.
