…12170) Fixes # ### Context The `BackingCollection` property checks the backing collection for `ICollection<T>`. <img width="638" height="241" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9012ec98-7ddf-4ad4-8c5f-30c5e4520666" /> This implementation creates a list copy if the underlying backing type doesn't implement `ICollection<T>`, and `PropertyDictionary` and `ItemDictionary` are two types that fall into this copying behavior. <img width="899" height="218" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/049fd288-c1cb-4920-8e6d-a9bbd46a8a76" /> This can be fixed by having them implement `ICollection<T>`.
