@eiriktsarpalis - is this something you can take a quick look at?

Seems to be an old test using BinaryFormatter. Perhaps related to BF being phased out?

It seems to be using BinaryFormatter directly, not via System.Resources.Extensions, so Adam's changes wouldn't be affecting it. And mine haven't gone in yet. So, unless the test is psychic and knows BinaryFormatter will be turned off in the next day or two, it seems coincidental.

That said, when I merge in (today or tomorrow) this test will be disabled. No tests will be able to use BinaryFormatter until we get a package published, just because of how our build system works and how we chose to solve the BF-legacy problem, so it will at least stop showing up as an intermittent CI failure.
