See attached test program & XmlSerializer output, produced with the environment
variables set as advised.  Problem is evidently with a DefaultValue of DateTime
type:

    ob. at FancyDateTime = 02/03/2001 04:05:06;

The constant value is output by SerializationCodeGenerator.GetLiteral, which
doesn't have a special case for DateTime, so drops through to
IFormattable.ToString.  Maybe this should use IConvertible and Convert instead?

As an aside, I ran the program with the MS runtime and got the output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Test xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <SimpleDateTime>0001-01-01T00:00:00</SimpleDateTime>
  <FancyDateTime>0001-01-01T00:00:00</FancyDateTime>
</Test>

01/01/0001 00:00:00
01/01/0001 00:00:00

The serialisation is as expected, becuase I didn't actually initialise the
FancyDateTime memeber to the same as the DefaultValue, but the deserialisation
isn't what I expected - it didn't respect the DefaultValue.  Or perhaps I am
misunderstanding how DefaultValue is supposed to work.  This isn't your problem
though!
