This may be related to #10664, but this problem is occurring on a newer build than the one that purports to have these fixes (#12296)

This is actually tracked in #8894. That thread has a little more context, as well as ideas on how we might be able to fix this. Thanks!

@zadjii-msft thanks -- I figured there had to be a bug on this but I wasn't find it when searching.
