MSDN says about GetVersionInfo():

"Returns a FileVersionInfo representing the version information 
associated with the specified file."

That would imply to me that the AssemblyFileVersion is meant. Anyways 
the MS Runtime behavior trumps that anyways.

If you can't fix it immediately in the code (and send a pull request on 
github), please file a bugreport on https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/
