xsp is broken with new mono 3.0

Hi, I upgraded to mono 3.0 in the official repositories and now xsp4 appears to be broken. I get a very strange stack trace from xsp when using mono 3.0 OR mono-git(from a few weeks ago, currently building latest to see if it happens there as well).

This is the full stacktrace. It's a pretty strange bug. It appears to be trying to call a method directly on an interface, which of course doesn't work. However, running this on mono 2.10 works fine:

[earlz@EarlzAlpha lastyearswishes]$ xsp4

edit:
From the posts I've seen, this is apparently a very common problem. The apparent solution is to build xsp from git.. Sadly, no xsp-git AUR package
