Custom generics - probably I am just doing something wrong ...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================
1. Compile the attached c# VS2010 DTO project 
(I think you will need Xamarin iOS trial or above installed to open the 
project).

2. Run the "precompiler" against the compiled DLL from (1.) using a command 
line such as:

precompile "C:\Users\Marc\Documents\Visual Studio 
2012\Projects\Protobuf-Problem\bin\iPhone\Debug\Protobuf-Problem.dll" 
-t:MySerializer 
-o:MySerializer.dll

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
=====================================================
DTO project builds successfully.

But when running the precompile console app, 
the window displays: "No serializer defined for type: " and then there is 
nothing after the colon.

Full output is:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
====================================================================
protobuf-net r651
Windows8
VS2010
Xamarin iOS to build the DTO project

Sorry, I should have titled this "Custom generics with Precompile and iOS"
