AsReference = true and inheritance gives reflection exception: Object does not match target type.

Simply try serialize :

var a = new A { B = new DerrivedFromBase { Count = 2, Name = "Derived" } };
    [ProtoContract]
        public class A
        {
            [ProtoMember(1, AsReference = true)]
            public Base B { get; set; }
        }

        [ProtoContract]
        [ProtoInclude(2, typeof(DerrivedFromBase))]
        public class Base
        {
            [ProtoMember(1)]
            public string Name { get; set; }
        }

        [ProtoContract]
        public class DerrivedFromBase : Base
        {
            [ProtoMember(3)]
            public int Count { get; set; }
        }
