We're not going to be able to fix the underlying error, but we definitely need to handle the exception and display something useful. I also see we do not appear to have logged the problem either. However I'm going to need to wait on this until msivak is done sorting out some threading issues, since what he's doing there will directly influence what kind of patch I make for this.
