Robert,

We fix things in the interop/serialization area as needed and possible when
enough information is given to us...

Roei,
Can you send the exceptions or more info, on what is different on
collections serialization. It would be very nice if you could fill a bug
case at
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mono%3A+Class%20Libraries
with all the details you can gather and a testcase if possible.

Fun,
