Peeking into your source code (trunk) indicates that your unhandled exception handling seems to be incomplete in regard to Windows Forms applications:

You need to handle both non-UI thread exceptions and UI thread exceptions:

• For the former you need to implement a CLR unhandled exception handler via AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException, which is in place already.

• For the latter you need to implement a Windows Forms unhandled exception handler via Application.ThreadException, which seems to be missing; this could indeed yield exactly those problems you are witnessing. For an implementation example see MSDN documentation of Application.ThreadException Event.

Please note that right now you explicitly suppress catching unhandled Windows Forms exceptions via Application.SetUnhandledExceptionMode(UnhandledExceptionMode.ThrowException), you'll need to change this to UnhandledExceptionMode.CatchException to enable routing to your handler for Application.ThreadException, as correctly suggested by Jehof already.
