I'm going to guess that this is a Release build. If that's the case, then the setter was removed by the linker (because it wasn't used from anywhere), and this behavior differs from MonoTouch because (presumably) MonoTouch has a different code base which causes the linker to preserve the setter. WP7 doesn't have a linker, and thus this isn't an issue there.
