The solution was obvious: installing Visual Studio for each customer on site and teaching the users to run the app in debug mode from Visual Studio. Holy smoke! That's actually the most creative solution (horrible, but creative) I've ever heard to fix a Heisenbug: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

Often it’s enough to compile in debug mode and maybe set an env var! This sounds like a horrible approach by all measures I think.
