to repro:
- create two assemblies with the same name (eg, 'a.dll') containing 
different types and place them in different directories 
(eg, "./1/a.dll", "./2/a.dll").
- now try to load and reflect the types in both assemblies.
- the second assembly will never be loaded, it will just return a 
reference to the first (see mono/mono/metadata/assembly.c, line 
~393, "  /* avoid loading the same assembly twixe for now... */")

here's the source for the test, I'll try to attach the whole test case:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using foo;

namespace test
{
    class Test
    {
        public static void Main (string [] rgArgs)
        {
            Assembly asm1 = Assembly.LoadFrom ("1/a.dll");
            Assembly asm2 = Assembly.LoadFrom ("2/a.dll");

            Console.WriteLine ("asm1:");
            foreach (Type t in asm1.GetTypes ())
                Console.WriteLine (t.Name);

            Console.WriteLine ("asm2:");
            foreach (Type t in asm2.GetTypes ())
                Console.WriteLine (t.Name);
        }
    }
}

This is not really a bug, the test case fails under MS.Net also. The 
assembly loading does a version checking (not yet in Mono) but two 
assemblies with default version information will be loaded as the 
same assembly (even on MS).

This bug is marked as duplicate of 27663 and that's not correct.
