I’m researching an issue reported by a colleague of mine. The error is rather

I don’t think the actual bug has been reported twice, just Alexander already
picked it up (maybe it’s affecting him, too). My colleague opened the bug
report because we updated the mono framework we are certifying against to
3.12.1 and this issue appeared. He said we didn’t have issues with mo
