My addin is causing "Assembly Bonus Tools" to fail to load.

This is a weird one.  I can't figure out what's going on here.  I can repeatedly cause this issue.

Has anyone run across an issue like this or know where to start looking?  This is very weird.


With Inventor open, I unload both addins and uncheck "automatic load" for both.  
Close Inventor.

Open Inventor.
Load Assembly Bonus Tools.  Set it to load automatically.
I do not load my addin.
All is well.

Close Inventor.  Launch again.
Assembly Bonus Tools is working fine.
Load my addin.
Everything is working fine.
Set my addin to load automatically.
Close Inventor.

Launch Inventor.
Assembly Bonus Tools does not load its commands.
At this point I can manually load Assembly Bonus Tools without error.
The commands show on the Ribbon but they do not execute.  It's like the click never sends.
