Mono's FX2 BinaryReader defaults to a UTF8Encoding object which inserts nothing
when invalid data is read.  The MSFT current behaviour is obtained by passing a
standard UTF8 encoding into the two-parameter constructor:
    BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);


To be compatible with current MSFT 2.0 rather than original 2.0, the
single-parameter constructor should use a 'standard' UTF8Encoding.

The MSFT change was actually pre-SP1, actually in MS07-040.  See

and note that MS07-040=KB931212=>KB928365=2.0.50727.832
