Reverted back to trying to install OS 0.9.4.0 and got same exception. Don't know if I can undo the upgrade of Meadow.CLI which is where I feel the issue stems.

I had the same problem. I did a “full stack meadow update”, and now it works.

In this blog he also states:
" In my experience flashing boards several times, this process might show exceptions and errors, failing to complete successfully . When that happens, disconnect and reconnect the board in bootloader mode (or press and release the RST button while holding down the BOOT button), and try again."
