NullReferenceException in CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Behaviors StackedNotificationsBehavior.ShowNext

[mfeingol]

Describe the bug

I have not reproduced this locally, but I'm seeing this NullReferenceException occasionally from user crash reports:

CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Behaviors
StackedNotificationsBehavior.ShowNext ()
CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Behaviors
StackedNotificationsBehavior.Show (Notification)
CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Behaviors
StackedNotificationsBehavior.Show (String, Int32, String)

Steps to reproduce

Unknown, unfortunately. My guess is the StackedNotificationsBehavior was used after its hosting ContentDialog had been closed.

Expected behavior

I'd expect this component to not throw a NullReferenceException, even if used after being uninitialized.

Yes, but only if others can assist.

Landed a local repro. The problem is that the AssociatedObject property is null. Presumably the StackedNotificationsBehavior should either return silently or throw InvalidOperationException or some such.
