This raises a question that I haven’t totally answered yet. Is there a legit
way of writing the equivalent of a Linux kernel module under the wdm model ?
Or are we sort of violating the rules whenever we write a driver that only
handles imaginary hardware ?

Looks like your registry is broken by incorrect INF file. It occurs
sometimes.
PnP shows either the value from the functional driver’s INF file or, if the
functional driver is not found, then it displays the
result of MN_QUERY_DEVICE_TEXT returned by the bus driver.
Anyway a devnode is required, and it is extremely strange if PnP displays
something without a real devnode.
