A NullReferenceException is thrown on only some snooped WPF windows in Snoop.VisualTreeItem.Reload()

description

Occasionally and it appears as if only on certain WPF screens, Snoop will throw a NullReferenceException deep in a recursive Snoop.VisualTreeItem.Reload() call stack.

The problem is on the following line (182) of Snoop.VisualTreeItem:
this.name = (this.target is FrameworkElement) ? ((FrameworkElement)this.target).Name : string.Empty;

this.nameLower = this.name.ToLower();
Specifically, ((FrameworkElement)this.target).Name is null, and the .ToLower() fails.
