I wanted to let everyone know that I figured this out -- sort of. Seems I was trying this logged in using Remote Desktop (MS) while logged in as a user that wasn't Administrator, though part of the admin group. Something about that configuration is causing the error. When I went to the console, I was able to do a thread dump on any of the instances on the machine.
I can't test if it is RDP or user that's that problem, since this is a production system and I won't let Administrator login remotely. I might be able to use the other login on the console, but I will have to try that later.
