Async logging throwing a NullReferenceException

Question

I was just having a very similar issue (NullReference from AssociateWithCurrentThread when using a logging task).

The issue I was having was that the original action did not await the completion of the logging task, so when the log finishes and tries to rejoin the original thread a nullReference is thrown because the original thread has terminated.

This was solved for me by making sure that the request controller awaited the logging function.
