Here's a sample run from the C# shell:

ws1096:~ dmitchell$ csharp -r:System.Xml.Linq
Mono C# Shell, type "help;" for help

Enter statements below.
csharp> using System.Xml.Linq;
csharp> var attribute = new XAttribute("blah", true);
csharp> attribute.Value;
"True"
csharp> (bool) attribute;
System.FormatException: True is not a valid boolean value
  at System.Xml.XmlConvert.ToBoolean (System.String s) [0x00000] 
  at System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute.op_Explicit (System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute
attribute) [0x00000] 
  at Class2.Host (System.Object& $retval) [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharp.Evaluator.Evaluate (System.String input, System.Object&
result, System.Boolean& result_set) [0x00000] 
  at Mono.CSharpShell.Evaluate (System.String input) [0x00000] 
csharp> attribute = new XAttribute("blah", "true");
blah="true"
csharp> attribute.Value;
"true"
csharp> (bool) attribute;
true
csharp> quit;
null

Entering similar statements into LinqPad (or something like it) on Windows will
yield the results I listed in the expected results.
