[mono-android] TPL is currently broken?

[Brannon King]

It seems that the Task Parallel Library support is broken on the current
version of Mono for Android (8.0.30703)?

I put this code in the bottom of the OnCreate in the auto-generated
activity file in a fresh android project:

var t1 = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{  Thread.Sleep(3000);
  RunOnUiThread(() => button.Text = "Three Seconds");
});
t1.Start();

It blows chunks in the start call. I'm using VS2010. Any ideas? The
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem does work. It just would be nice to use
the TPL cancellation functionality. Thanks for your time.
