I have a few questions:
1. Why use ++i rather than i++? i++ is far more common so I had to stop and think about what you were doing (it seems in this context ++i and i++ are the same).
2. Do you favor a for loop over foreach because of performance?
3. Why do you take an ICollection as parameter and immediately call ToArray? Most of the time, the implementation is an IList as well, and in that case you wouldn't need ToArray because it also supports indexing.

So without knowing anything about the code I've rewritten it a bit.
I couldn't test it, but I think it does the same as the original code, but with less nesting.
I've also got rid of the single line if-statement without braces by using progress?.Report.
And I've introduced a new single line if-statement by getting done = true; out of the if.
If this were my code I'd probably go even further by putting the remaining code inside the for loop in it's own method too.
Anyway, it's all a matter of style, I know plenty of people who'd prefer a single method, and maybe these extra method calls slow down your code to much, but here's how I'd handle it anyway Smile | :)
The comments in the code are specifically just for you Wink | ;)
C#
static void _FillLRClosureInPlace(CfgDocument cfg, IProgress<CfgLalr1Progress> progress, ICollection<LRItem> result)
{
    var done = false;
    while (!done)
    {
        done = true;
        var l = result.ToArray();
        for (var i = 0; i < l.Length; i++)
        {
            progress?.Report(new CfgLalr1Progress(CfgLalr1Status.ComputingClosure, i));
            var item = l[i];
            var next = item.RightIndex < item.Rule.Right.Count ? item.Rule.Right[item.RightIndex] : null;
            if (item.RightIndex < item.Rule.Right.Count && cfg.IsNonTerminal(next))
            {
                done = HandleRules(cfg, next, result);
            }
        }
    }
}

private static bool HandleRules(CfgDocument cfg, object next, ICollection<LRItem> result)
{
    bool done = true;
    // cfg.Rules.Count doesn't change, does it?
    for (int j = 0; j < cfg.Rules.Count; j++)
    {
        var r = cfg.Rules[j];
        done = HandleRule(r, next, result);
    }
    return done;
}

private static bool HandleRule(Rule r, object next, ICollection<LRItem> result)
{
    bool done = true;
    if (r.Left == next)
    {
        var lri = new LRItem(r, 0);
        // I think this communicates intent more clearly.
        done = result.Contains(lri);
        if (!done)
        {
            result.Add(lri);
        }
    }
    return done;
}

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
