That looks like a race between the server closing the socket and the 
client setting a timeout on the socket. I've filed a bug to look into this.

As a quick hack to work around this you may want to try commenting out 
the 'm_frameHandler.Timeout = ConnectionCloseTimeout' line in 
ConnectionBase.ClosingLoop.
