Problem using VSTS C# client library (VssConnection)

I'm running into the issue described here here:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/117356/problem-using-vsts-c-client-library-vssconnection.html

The workaround seems to address the issue, but the original poster asks if the Azure Functions team is aware of the issue. I searched through the issues archive and did not find an issue, so I am submitting one.

Start by reviewing the linked Visual Studio Developer Community report and the VssConnection usage described in the issue. No repository file, test, or concrete change is identified; done would require reproducing the reported Azure Functions problem and establishing a host-side fix or documented determination.
