Research direction

Start with src/EventGrid/EventGrid/Utilities/EventGridClient.cs at the reported error near line 2875, then follow UpdatePartnerTopic from the stack trace. Reproduce the Update-AzEventGridPartnerTopic command with IdentityType UserAssigned and the supplied IdentityId value. Done means the command no longer raises a NullReferenceException when adding managed identities.
