+Summary: Type not expected error message thrown by XmlSerializer.Serialize not informative enough
+
+Description of Problem: The error message thrown (see stacktrace.txt
+attached) when the  System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer class serializes
+an object graph does not contain enough information to verify the object in
+the graph that is causnig the error.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. mcs Test.cs (see attached)
+2. mono Test.exe
+
+Actual Results: The serializer reports the missing object.
+
+Expected Results: The serializer does not report which object in the object
+graph is causing the issue. More information to pin-point the missing type
+would be helpful diagnosing bugs.
