Additional Information

This is an interesting issue but not solvable. Creating an unregistered feature class using ArcGIS tools is nearly the same as creating a table directly in SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio or other SQL tools. And in those cases you cannot define a projection on the table or whether it can store Z or M values, so the resulting unregistered table reflects the same thing. There is no GDB metadata stored for unregistered tables to define these properties.
