Well, I'm sorry to say that - but this is wasted effort and time. If an
assembly works correctly on .NET and Mono does not match the behavior, then
it's a bug in Mono and that's where it should be fixed. No workarounds should
be done in the assembly's source code. Instead, bugs with test cases
demonstrating the issues should be filed (or, better yet, if the reporter knows
how to modify Mono - proposed patches to implement the missing and fix the
broken features in Mono should be attached to the reports). 

FWIW, the test program in Comment 8 works fine with Mono from trunk.

I will not add any patches which modify System.Web.Mvc or System.Web.Mvc2 to
our repositories - the code in there will always be exactly the same as the one
published by Microsoft. 

I will look into back-porting the necessary changes from trunk to 2.6-branch
next week.
