Tried it.  Same issue.

Hmmm. I just tried a test solution to isolate the problem and it worked.  Then I tried naming the output of the referenced dll with the same base name as the executable.  This failed.  So it seems that it is not possible to have MyAssembly.dll and MyAssembly.exe (or whatever) in the same solution.  Is is legal to do this (it seems to work for a console app on mac/windows)?  If it is, then the bug is in Monotouch.  If not then Monodevelop or the compiler should throw an error about ambiguous references.

I have a test project I can send.  I would file a bug but I'm not sure where the fault lies.

Now back to trying to get the resources to load...
