Research direction
The issue names no Cake source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the failure with Cake 0.22.1 on Windows x64 using the linked ReactiveUI branch, then identify what diagnostic information is currently emitted. Done means the failure reports the null variable or the relevant line number in an easier-to-debug message.
