 In the test case above, csc follows the same rule, finds a class (or
 namespace) named Math in the Mono namespace, but it doesn't find
 anything for 'Abs' and errors out. I guess at this point, mcs
 continues the search instead.

+Ok, I had a look at this.
+a) First of all, closing this as NOTABUG was correct.
+   The original testcase was correct and both mcs and csc compiled
+   it without problems.
+b) When you give csc the /r:corlib.dll argument, csc got confused
+   by "something" and failed to compile it.  However, that's not because
+   the testcase is incorrect, but because of a problem in the corlib.dll
+c) Paolo found another, related bug, which explained csc's behavior
+   with corlib.dll.  This other bug is now known as #46792.
+
+Note: Mono.Math is incorrectly declared `public' in corlib.dll, but
+      it should be marked `internal' instead.  That's just a temporary
+      issue and once that's fixed, csc will compile the original
+      testcase again.
+
+Bug #46792 still remains, but this one is really NOTABUG.
