Which version of Mono for Android did you use to package your previous version? A lot has changed in the linker over the past year...

	http://docs.xamarin.com/android/Releases/Mono_For_Android_1/Mono_For_Android_1.9.0#Major_Highlights

The linker now does a better job at visiting all possible members are removing the ones that (it thinks) can't be used, resulting in smaller application sizes. However, this also results in a requirement that every type & member that is used by User Assemblies actually exist, and System.Console.ForegroundColor has _never_ existed in Mono for Android.
