It would appear that it does not (under Win2k SP4):

0x00000000  foo
0x00000006  con
0x00000006  nul
0x00000006  prn
0x00000008  lpt1
0x00000000  lpt16
0x00000008  com1
0x00000000  com16
0x00000000  conin$
0x00000000  conout$
0x00000000  clock$

It also seems to only handle single digit com and lpt names.
