Daniel Nauck told me about this bug - and I'm still waiting for answers
to some questions. AFAICT the fact that this works under Windows is the
reason it does not work on Mono. 

Basically the same key, data and storage are used on both (mono and
ms.net) but the (undocumented) algorithm itself is different. So you
can't mix and match ms.net and mono with the same (membership) data
source.

Not without a bug report and not without test cases (that exclude the
above case).
