mcs reports CS0419 for a cref to a method on an interface that hides an 
inherited member.

To reproduce, compile the following code snippet (using mcs /doc:test.xml 
test.cs):

/// <summary>
/// <see cref="IB.Execute ()" />
/// <see cref="IB.Name" />
/// <see cref="B.Execute ()" />
/// <see cref="B.Name" />
/// </summary>
public class EntryPoint {
  static void Main () {
  }
}

/// <summary />
public interface IA {
  /// <summary />
  string Name {
    get;
  }

  /// <summary />
  string Execute ();
}

/// <summary />
public interface IB : IA {
  /// <summary />
  new int Name {
    get;
  }

  /// <summary />
  new int Execute ();
}

/// <summary />
public class A {
  /// <summary />
  public string Name {
    get { return null; }
  }

  /// <summary />
  public string Execute () {
    return null;
  }
}

/// <summary />
public class B : A {
  /// <summary />
  public new int Name {
    get { return 0; }
  }

  /// <summary />
  public new int Execute () {
    return 0;
  }
}

Note: the repro can be simplified, but I also wanted to show that crefs 
to hiding methods on classes are working fine. Also crefs to hiding 
properties on both classes and types are working fine too.

Actual result:

test.cs(7,14): warning CS0419: Ambiguous reference in cref 
attribute 'IB.Execute'. Assuming 'IB.Execute()' but other overloads 
including 'IA.Execute()' have also matched

Expected result:

Successful compilation without warnings.

Uhoh, it is very good catch. Now fixed in svn (r54154). Thanks.
