fluent nhibernate deep clone error on mono 2.10.5

Question

I'm using fluent nhibernate on my project. Internally, fluent nhibernate use this code below to perform DeepClone (reference) :

using (var stream = new MemoryStream()) {
    var formatter = new BinaryFormatter();

    formatter.Serialize(stream, obj);
    stream.Position = 0;

    return (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
}

Unfortunately, this doesn't work on mono because those code will call

System.Collections.Generic.HashSet<T>.GetObjectData 
(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext 
context)

which not yet implemented (throw NotImplementedException).

Does anyone know deep clone codes that works on mono ?

I think you should report a bug in bugzilla.xamarin.com (with a title like "FluentNHibernate doesn't work with Mono" or something, rather than focusing just on the NIE which they already may know about).
