We are seeing this in other places, such as the URI constructor.  We checked
RFC 2396 and it does seem that colons are allowed in some circumstances.

We wrote a test (attached) and ran it in both Mono and MS.NET, and got
different results.  MS.NET correctly handles the colons, 

There are 3 tests, only failing ones display.


MS.NET shows:
Uri(s): Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

Mono:
Uri(s): URI scheme must start with a letter and must consist of one of
alphabet, digits, '+', '-' or '.' character.
Uri(s,UriKind.Relative):URI scheme must start with a letter and must consist of
one of alphabet, digits, '+', '-' or '.' character.
Uri(s,UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)URI scheme must start with a letter and must
consist of one of alphabet, digits, '+', '-' or '.' character.


I will investigate trying to patch this as it is affecting production code.
