The stack trace is most revealing: it looks like a fontification bug in CC
Mode (of which csharp-mode is a derivative).

Usual questions for an Emacs bug: does the bug happen when you start with
emacs -Q (followed by "manually" loading csharp-mode)?  Does the bug
happen in Emacs 24.5 or in the latest development trunk version (if you
have easy access to this - I think you have)?

If the answer to the last question is "yes", could you please report this
as an Emacs bug (e.g., by posting to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org), and include,
in addition to what is in your post here:
1. A copy of a C# file which triggers the bug (or a URL where the file
can be found).  The smaller this file is, the easier for the maintainer.
2. A complete recipe, starting preferably from emacs -Q, on how to
reproduce the bug.
3. If you need your own CC Mode settings to trigger the bug, then a dump
of your CC Mode configuration created by C-c C-b from the C# Mode buffer.
