 Yes, I know. In fact I discovered the bug while implementing
 OptionalFieldAttribute.

+Another closely related bug: When a field has been removed from
+a class, the deserializer will throw an exception when it
+tries to deserialize historical data.
+
+MS.NET (both profiles) accepts this data.
+
+
+mcs test.cs
+mono test.exe
+
+mcs /d:EVOLUTION test.cs
+mono test.exe
+

+---
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
+
+[Serializable]
+class Test
+{
+#if !EVOLUTION
+	int value1;
+#endif
+
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter ();
+
+#if EVOLUTION
+		using (FileStream stm = File.OpenRead ("serializationdata")) {
+			Test t = (Test) bf.Deserialize (stm);
+			Console.WriteLine (t);
+		}
+#else
+		Test t = new Test ();
+		using (FileStream stm = File.Create ("serializationdata")) {
+			bf.Serialize (stm, t);
+		}
+#endif
+	}
