Try -
$x=1; $x.$y=1
It seems like any indirect property reference, when the referencing variable is $null, will crash PowerShell. Consequently, you can do it on any built-in variable like this -
$input.$null=1
I will report it to Microsoft. I do not know whether it has been reported or not as my connect.microsoft.com connection to PowerShell does not work :(

Hiya, Per
I tried this on CTP2 and could not reproduce it.
PoSH> $x=1; $x.$y=1
Property '' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable
.
At line:1 char:10
+ $x=1; $x. <<<< $y=1
PoSH> $input.$null=1
Property '' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable
.
At line:1 char:8
+ $input. <<<< $null=1

Ditto. I looks like we fixed that one already.
