Yeah, you have struct a few limitations in the win32com universal support.
There are a few key bugs:
* If an unknown interface name was requested, universal.py would get a None
but fail to treat it as an error.  The interface entries used by universal
must be interface *names* - you were passing an IID as a string, so looking
up this interface name failed.

* Even if we get past that, you will strike a problem when you attempt to
have a real IID in _com_interfaces_ - a type error as we attempt to use that
as a string interface name as described above.

You may be able to work around it by having _com_interfaces_ have only the
interface names from the typelib, and implementing a _query_interface_
method on your object to support the connection-point interfaces.

In the meantime I will fix this in win32com - I'll mail the changed .py
files personally.
