We're hitting this too. Inconsistently, we'll get this exception.

Some questions to help narrow this down: are you using any mshtml interfaces directly (e.g. mshtml.dll)? Doing any COM interop directly?

We've found that calling some of the COM MSHTML interfaces incorrectly can cause this.

We've also found that doing COM marshalling incorrectly can cause this.

Accessing document IFRAME Elements from another domain can cause this.

It's possible that making WebBrowser calls when the document isn't quite ready may also cause this.
