I had the very same problem. I upgraded from Mono 2.10.4 to 2.10.5 and the problem resolved itself. I have not combed the Mono class loader to understand why. I found this problem to be particularly irritating because the exception never tells you *why* the assembly name is invalid.
Also, have you checked Stack Overflow? There was at least 1 other question similar enough to this one might help if the mono upgrade does not help.
