The bug is still present. As long as UnicodeEncoding.cs is doing mere byte
copy, it will be present.

The current implementation is compatible with MS.NET 1.x and is very fast.

MS.NET 2.0 however implemented fallbacks (most other encodings as well in Mono
lack support for that) and added support for detecting invalid code point even
in UnicodeEncoding.

I also believe that retaining the current UnicodeEncoding at some other place
would make sense because of its superior performance and simplicity.
