 Oh, I was blind - I looked in mcs/tests, not in mono/tests ....

+Ok, I debugged this.
+
+The crash with the ms runtime is a stack overflow in the 
+CustomAttributeBuilder's constructor.  It is called with these 
+arguments (which look ok to me):
+
+NEW CB: 
+.ctor,My,My,System.Object[](System.Enum),System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[](),System.Object[](),System.Reflection.FieldInfo[](),System.Object[]()
+
+So I think this is a bug in the ms runtime.
+
+About the miscompilation issue: what happens if the enum is a 
+dynamic type ?
+
+	enum Foo { A, B }
+
+	[My(Foo.A)]
+	class T { ... }
+
+	class My : Attribute {
+		public object obj;
+		public My (object o) {
+			obj = o;
+		}
+	}
+
+If the enum is a dynamic type, then I can't create an instance of it.
