Scott,

This suggests that one of the message properties that is expected to be a string
is not set to a string. In your code, you do

props.SetPersistent(this.PersistMessages);                
props.ContentType = contentType;
props.Type = messageType.FullName;
props.MessageId = messageId;

Can you please try identifying which property it is by elimination and
send me (off-list if there's something confidential) what its value
is at runtime?

Both RabbitMQ and Tracer cannot decode what the client sends over the wire,
I suspect this is a genuine .NET client issue: it doesn't reject the inputs
it should.

Also, what encoding does the system use by default and what OS and .NET version
do you run?
