Isolated the failure to the [object invoke $x TestByRefNullableValueTypeMethod
y] portion of the unit test which ends up calling the method
_Tests.Default.TestByRefNullableValueTypeMethod, defined as follows:

  public void TestByRefNullableValueTypeMethod(ref int? x)
  {
    if (x != null) x++;
    else x = 0;
  }

The following snippet from MarshalOps.FixupByRefArguments demonstrates the
suspected root cause of the issue:

  if (args[argumentInfo.Index] != null) // NOTE: Succeeds.
  {
      Type type = null;

      try
      {
          //
          // NOTE: NullReferenceException is thrown here, even
          //       though we just checked for null (above).
          //
          type = args[argumentInfo.Index].GetType();
      }
      catch
      {
          // do nothing.
      }

      //
      // NOTE: Variable "type" ends up being null here.
      //
  }
