Note that I'm testing this with trunk.

Well, sort of. System.Web part got fixed in r135471 (trunk) and r135472 (2.4
branch) but it's just moving the code which triggers the error out of a static
constructor, so that no exception occurs early in the process, but it is not a
full fix. I suspect the real fix would be to System.Configuration to handle
such errors more gracefully.
XSP will also not run with such broken config file as it will die when trying
to create a socket, because socket code tries to access configuration and
catches the same XML parsing error as your sample. So, once again, the real fix
belongs in System.Configuration IMO.

This executable won't run on .NET without creating
WebConfigErrorTest.exe.config file with the following contents:

------ cut -------
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="SubApplication/bin" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
<configuration>
------ cut -------

Even after this is done, the executable will not output anything to the
console, it will just exit. On Mono the sample doesn't quit but loops somewhere
in XML parser's guts (allocating memory till OOM):

For that reason, I'm going to reassign this bug to Sys.XML for now
