As is usual with 'examples' the code is often integrated into proprietary corporate code, so can't share that. Instead I created a more performant purely XAML workaround that not only perfectly mimics the effects, it will work on non-Aero systems like XP as well and allow alpha blending without flaw.

Huh, it works when I first launch the window, but after moving it around and/or interacting with it, the shell-rendered dropshadow disappears. I've also noticed that if your custom chrome (UI) in front of the DWM chrome is not rectangular (i.e. I have rounded corners) then the "blended" or "partial alpha" pixels always render at #FF000000 (pure black) instead of doing a transparency blend. =/ Any workarounds for these two issues?
