The most recent release (1.9) contains a *HUGE* number of improvements to both 
their C# 3.0 feature support as well as LINQ-related feature support. Though 
quite obviously they exist somewhere in the feature chain, as of this date I 
have yet to run across any compilation or runtime issues between .NET 3.5 and 
Mono 1.9, though I've only recently (as of the last 3-4 months) started taking 
full advantage of both in the Nuxleus code base (which covers a fairly large 
swath of the FCL.)

That said, if there's one thing that's been proven more times than I am both 
willing and able to count it's that the Mono Project developers are constantly 
driven by the challenge to ensure the DLR and related projects are able to both 
compile and run against the Mono assemblies.  In other words, sometimes the 
best way to get something fixed is to highlight the fact that it's broken.  
Pushing the envelope via using some of the more alluring features and 
functionality of both C# 3.0 and .NET 3.0/3.5/LINQ is certainly one way to find 
out what works and works well and what is in need of attention.
