[MonoTouch] Another "Attempting to JIT compile method" Exception

The reason for this is that the static compiler did not have  
visibility into the class that you are trying to invoke, in this case,  
it is the trampoline code that allows the SetValue to work.

I'll discuss with the team if this can be statically inferred, but it  
does seem difficult, as the information could be anything.
