 Fixed in SVN (r53949). Now collections will be reused if they already
 exist, like in MS.NET.

+The problem is still there in one case.
+The attached test case prints under mono:
+
+---
+set new list? True
+item count: 3
+---
+
+Under .NET it prints
+
+---
+item count: 4
+---
+
+because the setter is not called.
+The item count is 4 because the ctor always creates a non-
+empty list, hence the list grows after the deserialization.
+
+It appears, that (just a guess) for generic ArrayLists
+attributed with [XmlElement] the patch doesn't work.
