 Could you define what does "touching types" mean?   
 Isn't this bug a problem also for mcs (as it occurs with both Save 
 and RunAndSave states)? 
  
 Is using IsAssignableFrom an extra performance penatly and should be 
 avoided?

+When Save is used, the runtime avoids initializing some fields of the
+created types, when that initialization would take a lot of time or
+memory. This can cause problems if the types returned by CreateType
+are 'used', i.e. some methods may not work, like IsAssignableFrom.
