This is caused by a wrong dll-map:

<dllmap dll="gdiplus" target="@prefix@/lib/libgdiplus at libsuffix@" />
<dllmap dll="gdiplus.dll" target="@prefix@/lib/libgdiplus at libsuffix@" />

in $prefix/etc/mono/config.

It should read

<dllmap dll="gdiplus" target="@prefix@/lib/libgdiplus at libsuffix@" 
os="!windows" />
<dllmap dll="gdiplus.dll" target="@prefix@/lib/libgdiplus at libsuffix@" 
os="!windows"  />
