Is Azure’s default firewall for ResourceManager VMs bypassing/allowing/supporting UPnP requests?

When creating a VM with the new Resource Manager, I can see that the default Network Security Group restricts every incoming access to all ports (except the administration port, SSH/RDP), which makes sense.
