I've been looking into this bug, and I think I've identified what's happening.

In the constructor for ConsoleDriver(class/corlib/System/ConsoleDriver.cs), the
IsConsole property is being set to false, which causes a NullConsoleDriver to
be created instead of a WindowsConsoleDriver. Since ReadKey in
NullConsoleDriver just returns a ConsoleKeyInfo.Empty, there is no waiting for
user input.

Upon further investigation, by setting IsConsole to true, I can call
WindowsConsoleDriver.ReadKey, but it throws an exception, because
ReadConsoleInput (class/corlib/System/WindowsConsoleDriver.cs) returns false.
GetLastWin32Error returns "6" in this case, but that seems a bit cryptic. I'm
not sure what's causing ReadConsoleInput (kernel32.dll) to return false, but
I'm still looking into this.
