Selenium: 'UnreachableBrowserException: Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died' when using ExpectedConditions

[funnybutrandom]

Meta -

OS: Linux
Selenium Version: 3.12.0
Browser: Chrome Driver 2.39
Browser Version: 67.0.3396.62

Expected Behaviour

When calling the following method:
public void fluentWaitForElementToBeStale(WebElement element) { FluentWait<WebDriver> wait = (new FluentWait<>(webdriver)).withTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).pollingEvery(1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).ignoring(TimeoutException.class); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(element)); }
Like so:
fluentWaitForElementToBeStale(fluentWaitForElement(By.cssSelector("[id*=sys_group_grid][title='Enter Text to Filter on Group Name']")));
The code should run without error (as it did in previous versions of Selenium)

Actual Behavior -

On methods that use Expected Conditions, I'm seeing occasional errors as can be seen in the attached exception (with personal details removed)
Exception.txt
I don't see this in 3.7.0

Steps to reproduce

Create a series of Cucumber tests and add them to a Testng suite, run the suite in parallel with 5 threads
