I suggest you temporarily put an action attribute on an assembly and
throw an exception in the before method. What it should do is mark
all the tests as failures. Instead, it crashes in MarkTestFailed.

Title:
  Failure in Assembly level Action attribute causes crash

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If an assembly-level action attribute causes an error or failure in
  it's start phase, a null reference occurs in TestSuite.MarkTestFailed
  when attempting to acess this.FixtureType.Name.

  Before the introduction of action attributes it was not possible to
  have a failure in setup unless there was a fixture, so no test for
  FixtureType being null was made. We need to test for a non-null
  fixtureType before trying to access it.  This will also apply to
  marking child tests as invalid or ignored - essentially, all
  references to FixtureType on the test suite must be guarded now.
