How would the Form know that it needed to throw an exception? As I said, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with creating the Form and calling Show() from the Timer thread. The 'no-return' behaviour you get is, I guess, because a message pump is started when you create the first window on a thread, and so it never comes back, not because it is a thread pool thread.
So, essentially, it is all behaving correctly. Why would there be an exception?
