+Turns out that this behavior is officially documented:
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
+us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemenvironmentclasshasshutdownstartedtopic.asp
+
+From that page: "Note: An exception to this rule is the Console 
+class, which contains static fields that reference stream objects, 
+but is implemented specially so you can always write to the system 
+console, even during domain unloading or system shutdown."
