Research direction

Start in src/BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk/config/PathConfig.cs at lines 218–222 and inspect the loop involved when the paths configuration is closed. Review issue #1574 for related context. The change is done when invalid path configuration is validated at the appropriate point before close, with the resulting behavior confirmed.
