 You are right about the hardcoded references. However assemblies must
 be strongnamed (or at least delay-signed) for the runtime to extract
 this information - hence the dependency to the bug 55563.

+The runtime code tries to get the public key and version informations
+from the assembly (and not the hardcoded ones) if available. This code
+(part of which will eventually be removed) is located in
+/mono/mono/metadata/reflection.c, function
+resolution_scope_from_image, line 1888.
+
+So I did a quick test with a strongnamed version of Mono's
+System.Security.dll. I did get the right version number (1.0.5000.0)
+but not the public key token.
+
+The problem seems that mono_metadata_decode_row_col returns NULL in
+mono_metadata_decode_row_col. It may be related to the fact that
+monosn can't extract the public key from the assembly while sn.exe
+(both Mono's managed and MS implementation) can.
