How create an instance of an abstract class with internal members using remoting / proxy?

Question

I was playing around with Microsoft Entity framework 4 and at some point i want to create a fake instance of ObjectStateEntry using a proxy or FormatterServices and faced with the issues that follow:

1. The class has internal abstract members therefore creating a proxy ends up with type having not-implemented members. Therefore, throws exception during CreateInstance.
2. Can't use FormatterServices.GetUinitializedData as it is an abstract class.

Would love to know, if are there any other option available ?
