For what it is worth, here is what I was told recently at a trip to our tax office:

My inspection on my truck expires in April, but my registration expires in August. I asked the lady there how this would be handled. She was not 100% sure but offered what she "thought" was the correct procedure, which made sense to me.

She told me that I would have to get the inspection in April but would not be given a sticker and I would have to pay the inspection station's portion of the fee. At this time your inspection would be entered into the states system so when I renewed registration in August, they could see that the inspection was current.

In August, I would renew my registration and have to pay the registration plus the state's portion of the inspection fee. I would not have to be inspected again until Aug 2016 so that the inspection/registration would then have the same expiration month.

Again, she was not totally certain, maybe someone will come along with a more "official" clarification.
