Hmm.. I've only tried it with unmanaged code. Plus, I used that approach because the custom DLL came from a third party and I had no control over it. Using this technique with managed code will bring a whole extra layer of complexity.
Calling managed code from a CA (or rather, the numerous reasons for not doing so) has been discussed at length on this list. Please consult the archives (and Rob M's blog) for more information. If at all possible, you should consider re-writing your custom DLL as unmanaged code.

It's quite an amount of work (I use managed code), but I'll give it a try. I think it's a flaw in the MSI design...
