Nice try, but destructors called by the GC are currently

When did that happen? Some effort was made at one point to
ensure that allocations worked from dtors. Not that I'm in
favor, but...
More than two years ago, possibly longer:

That's a different issue, which is that the current GC isn't
necessarily exception safe and throwing from a dtor violates
this. I don't see any mention there about allocating in a dtor.
I believe the mechanism is that the assert is triggered, it tries
to allocate, then you get the invalid memory operation error.
Exactly why it allocates, I'm not sure.
