Is this leading to a crash or a performance concern?

If its a crash, we should look into fixing this. 

I have not investigated what Microsoft does in the particular scenario
that you are running into (where you handle some of the work on async
thread callbacks).

It seems like the culture should be auto-reset, but I have not written
any tests myself.
