PropertyGrid cannot seem to be used from a worker UI thread

I have been experimenting with ribbon, ribbon window and docking features in a worker thread and this all worked without a single issue. Then I have tried adding a simple PropertyGrid to this window and I got the following exception:

'TreeListViewRowPresenter' object cannot be added to 'Border'. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Error at object 'ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.PropertyGrid.Primitives.TreeListViewRowPresenter' in markup file 'ActiproSoftware.PropertyGrid.Wpf30;component/Themes/PropertyGrid/Common.xaml'.

I have created a sample that reproduces the issue. The sample uses the very button as SelectedObject but it really doesn't matter which object is used or even if PropertyGridPropertyItem is used instead. 
    public partial class Window1
    {
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void _button_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var thread = new Thread(WorkerThread);
            thread.TrySetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
            thread.Start();
        }

        private static void WorkerThread(object obj)
        {
            var win = new Window1();
            win.ShowDialog();
        }
    }
<Window x:Class="PropertyGridThreadBug.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:PropertyGrid="clr-namespace:ActiproSoftware.Windows.Controls.PropertyGrid;assembly=ActiproSoftware.PropertyGrid.Wpf30"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">

    <DockPanel>
        <Button x:Name="_button"
                DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"
                Click="_button_OnClick">
            Create Worker Thread
        </Button>
        <PropertyGrid:PropertyGrid SelectedObject="{Binding ElementName=_button}" />
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

Hello,

We tried your sample and did not see any issue. If you can please email over a sample project to our support address, then we can take another look. There may be a setting you have set on the project that we do not.

Also, if you can provide a more detailed stack trace from the resulting exception, then that may help.

For reproduction I just created a vanilla WPF project and put together the code I previously posted. I have sent the full project to your support email.

Please find the detailed stack trace below.

Hello,

Thanks for the report, I was able to reproduce this issue with the 505 build (the current release). This appears to be fixed in our current development build. I believe there was an issue with the "shared" column information, which was resolved per this post.

So this will be resolved in the next maintenance release.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.3) was released 6 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
