 Ok, I would appreciate very much if you give a hint for workaround the
 problem, because it is blocking our compiler. Otherwise I have to go
 into gmcs code and I'm not sure that the final solution is applicable
 for me.

+We have found that the problem is caused by RunAndSave assembly flag.
+This is because of the following code from reflection.c
+
+        if (!((MonoDynamicImage*)klass->image)->run) {
+                if (klass->generic_container) {
+                        /* FIXME: The code below can't handle generic
+classes */
+                        klass->wastypebuilder = TRUE;
+                        mono_loader_unlock ();
+                        return mono_type_get_object
+(mono_object_domain (tb), &klass->byval_arg);
+                }
+        }
+
+So it's clearly a known issue.
+
+It would be nice if this can be fixed, because while this doesn't make
+generic emission in our compiler impossible, it will prevent nemish
+(interactive nemerle interpreter) from working.
+
+I guess this could be also an issue for booi.
