I think one of the only people qualified to help you is Rainer
Schutze. I think he knows the details of Mago better than anyone.

Incidentally, I use Mago exclusively and I'm not sure I have any of
these problems you're speaking of.
Mixed D/C++ debugging is working well in VS. Memory editing is also
working fine...?
Top of my wish-list would be a way to evaluate pure
functions/properties while stepping as if variables.
