[Mono-list] Null task exception when doing ContinueWith

[Giuliano Barberi]

I'm gonna try to isolate the issue but I haven't been able to reproduce it
in dev and only seen it in prod. Problem is without the stacktrace it's
hard to know where the problem is coming from. I'm wondering if anyone has
seen something similar or knows any case where the exception may be null.
If not, I'm gonna keep trying to reproduce it.
