[Mono-osx] JSON from [WebMethod] differs between Mac and Linux

[jmalcolm]

I built Mono 2.6.1 for Linux and it turns out that this is not a Linux vs.
OSX issue but rather a Mono 2.6.1 vs. Mono 2.4.3 issue.  Sorry about that. 
I did not believe this would be the case since this means newer Mono is less
compliant with newer versions of the real .NET than older Mono versions are.

I will post the a more general list and maybe post a bug if nobody can
explain why this change appeared.
