 A proper implemetation would call:
 ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(d), state);
 
 The difference being that ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem() will not suppress
 exceptions thrown by the WaitCallback delegate (assumed mono implements
 ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem correctly(?)).

+What is similarly important is that SynchronizationContext.Post() does
+not seem to run the callback synchronously (Post() itself should
+return asynchronously but the callback execution should be synchronous).
+
+It affects on System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker behavior. (I also
+doubt this problem goes away by using ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem()).
