FTR: this issue has already surfaced once on the IRC, and I recall that
we tracked it down to the MS Paint OLE registration issues specific to
Windows 11 (the unit test uses the "mspaint data").
This is the URL that I believe we discovered back then:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/ole-not-showing-in-windows-11/td-p/11083461
And this one I found today:
https://answers.sap.com/questions/13565013/background-image-not-appears-in-windows-11.html
It mentions some "workaround without changing the report itself, but
configuring Windows", which I can't open myself (access denied).
Possibly we need to re-consider the OLE server application, since MS
Paint no longer looks to be the reliable choice.
