Please use the monodevelop-list for monodevelop questions.

This is not a monodevelop bug. MonoDevelop simulates mcs' assembly
loading, and mcs would be unable to find that assembly. You have to have
a .pc file that has a proper Libs: line for MD to be able to find this
dll, which will cause it to use -pkg:whatever when it calls mcs to
compile.
