Why does "Conditional access qualifier expression is known to be not null" trigger?
I have this code where I attempt to get the remote endpoint IP address from a WCF Service for debugging/logging:
var endpoint = (RemoteEndpointMessageProperty)OperationContext.Current?.IncomingMessageProperties?[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name];
The ?[] conditional element access triggers the above mentioned rule:

However, looking at the reference sources, it seems that IncomingMessageProperties could very well be null:
public MessageProperties IncomingMessageProperties { get { Message message = this.clientReply ?? this.request; if (message != null) return message.Properties; else return null; } }
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
