Unfortunately, no. This example should not compile: it's a bug in mcs.
You can use:
	int foo = (int)Zub.Foo;

to get the integer value of the enum.

with:
	int foo = Zub.Foo;
I get the correct:

tests/enum-print.cs(12) error CS0029: Cannot convert implicitly from
`Zub' to `int'
Error: Compilation failed

Is this part of the trace where mcs calls Error()? If it died while
reporting the compilation error in your code, you might want to check
you corlib is uptodate with cvs. Error reporting works fine for me,
but if you use a mcs from cvs and the corlib from the 0.10 release
it may not work (I thinbk the format changes Gonzalo did landed in cvs
only after the release).
