Am attaching an example case that the existing expression is not
wrong by concept.

If you have concrete example case, please enter it to bugzilla.

using System;
using System.Collections;

public class Test {
   public static void Main () {
     ArrayList al = new ArrayList ();
     XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument ();
     al.Add (doc.CreateElement ("foo"));
     al.Add (doc.CreateAttribute ("attr"));
     al.Add (doc.CreateEntityReference ("ent"));
     XmlNode [] nodes = (XmlNode []) al.ToArray (typeof (XmlNode));
   }
}
