MAKEINTRESOURCE and managed extensions

In upsizing some old VC6 code, I've come across the following problem
regarding MAKEINTRESOURCE.

In the old version, there was code along the lines of:

m_pListBox.AddString(CString(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_TESTSTRING)));

If you however turn on managed extensions, this code fails. (A workaround is
to use LoadString).

Is this behaviour deliberate, or is it a bug in CString?

(I have a VC7.1 MFC project which demonstrates this if anyone is interested,
but the easiest way is simply to make a dialog with a listbox on, and add
that line somewhere).

There's certainly a problem here, as to whether it's "by design" or a
bug, I don't know.

Let's see if anyone else knows.
