+This issue still exists on Mono 0.24 and RH9.
+The problem with the arrays matching incorrectly is an unrelated 
+issue to the enum case demonstrated here.
+I did spend some time narrowing the enum thing down a bit.  It 
+appears that the method is not matching because in the default 
+binder's check_type method, it uses the type codes of the two types 
+to determine whether or not a cast is safe.  The created enum has a 
+typecode of "Int32", but the typecode of System.Enum is "Object".  
+(On .Net, they also have these typecodes, so that's not a bug.)  So, 
+it goes into the type code switch statement, and will fail.
+That's where the problem is, but I do not know what the best solution 
+would be.  (Explicit checks for enums?  Reworking the check_type 
+method so it will handle this sort of case first?  Something 
+completely different?)
