This repro (and then likely NHibernate) makes nasty use of .NET exploit that
inconsistently allows "dictionary serialization" which is explicitly
prohibited. 

It is proved when the sample repro is modified to hold
"Dictionary<string,string>" instead of "IDictionary<string,string>", then .NET
raises InvalidOperationException.

Our serialization engine is designed to explicitly to exclude such dictionary
serialization.

We may have to fix some ICollection-based serialization, but such use won't be
popular (->MINOR), and it is absolutely not for this kind of IDictionary<,>
use.
