 How often does this happen? 
 Always
 
 Additional Information:
 It looks like you could just remove the overridden methods from
 ASCIIEncoding because Encoding does the correct thing.

+You get your expected result only under MS.NET 2.0. Before 2.0, there
+is no "correct" behavior since it is Windows encoding implementation
+dependent. I don't think the code above makes sense (it depends on
+broken premise).
+
+New .NET 2.0 compatible Encoding implementation is in progress, and
+actually for ASCII it is already implemented in svn. (Thus on 2.0
+profile we get this "expected" result.)
