 Additional info: this happens when my process calls
 System.Environment.Exit(), so the problem happens as the process is
 being dismantled.

+Yet more info: it looks like problem is caused by a call to
+System.Console.WriteLine() from within an object's destructor. It
+looks like the GC calls the destructor while the program is somewhere
+in the guts of System.Environment.Exit(). The destructor of the object
+tries to write to the console but, I suspect, by then the I/O
+subsystem has been dismantled, and something goes wrong at that point.
+
+So, question: is it legal for an object's destructor to write to the
+console if that destructor runs as a result of calling Exit()?
