The reason this is happening is that System.Web.Mvc 2.0.0.0 references
System.Web.Extensions 3.5.0.0 while test.exe compiled with dmcs references
System.Web.Extensions 4.0.0.0 - both of them are loaded at the same time and
this line:

ScriptingJsonSerializationSection section = (ScriptingJsonSerializationSection)
ConfigurationManager.GetSection
("system.web.extensions/scripting/webServices/jsonSerialization");

throws the invalid cast exception. It just works on .NET so this is a Mono
runtime issue. The workarounds are:

 * recompile System.Web.Mvc with dmcs and put it in your bin/ directory. 
 * Add the following to web.config:

  <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions"
                              publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"
                              culture="neutral" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="3.5.0.0"
                             newVersion="4.0.0.0"/>
         </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>

Reassigning the bug to the runtime.
