App crashes on rapid async updates when using ToNotifyCollectionChanged with WinUI 3 ListView

[xm-i]

Description

When using ToNotifyCollectionChanged to bind an ObservableList to a WinUI 3 ListView, the application crashes with an ArgumentOutOfRangeException during rapid asynchronous updates (e.g., inside Task.Run).

Observed Behavior

• The application terminates immediately with a specific exception during collection synchronization.
• Crucially, while CollectionChanged is subscribed to log the action, only the Add action is ever logged before the process crashes. The subsequent Remove action is never reached/logged.
• This crash does not occur if the same operations are performed directly on the UI thread (without Task.Run).

Exception

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: This collection cannot work with indices larger than Int32.MaxValue - 1 (0x7FFFFFFF - 1). (Parameter 'index')
