I'm using assemblies compiled against "1.0.3300.0" since ages and
I've never seen this error.

Mono is usually mapping the version of system assemblies:

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Test
{
	// strong name from OP's  error message
	const string WinForms = "System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.3300.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089";

	static void Main ()
	{
		Console.WriteLine (Assembly.Load (WinForms).FullName);
	}
}

Output:

System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.5000.0 ...

or

System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0 ...

when compiled with gmcs.
