No, it's a Microsoft undocumented non-compliance with their own standard, as 
proposed to and accepted by ECMA . Follow the given instructions: do a 
release build of mbas.

well I can't reproduce it in linux:

[rafael@redhat9 mbas]$ mono mbas.exe x.vb
Compilation succeeded
[rafael@redhat9 mbas]$ mono x.exe
[rafael@redhat9 mbas]$ cat x.vb
Module Module1
     Sub Main()
     End Sub
End Module

You'll have to wait for when later I can seat at my WinXP machine to see 
what happens...
