This is by design. From the point of view of the Mono runtime,
the entry assembly is actually that one that was passed to mkbundle.

It would make little sense to modify the code base of the
main assembly to point to the native executable of the bundle,
because you won't be able to load this file anyway, as
it isn't an assembly anymore.

If you're only interested in the code base path you may want to
look how it's done natively:
