Too bad for you :-(

No, it's mentionned in the docs - just not well-documented.

NUnit tries to avoid using the LoadFrom environment because of
the problems that causes when the user test wants to load 
dependencies in the normal Load environment. (It may be that
these problems only exist in Windows, but they are documented
there with lots of warnings against using LoadFrom.)

I'm hoping to get some ideas out of mono.addins as I get
further into it. In fact, mono-addins will handle addins
in 3.0, so that will take care of a good part of the load
problem. Essentially, a lot of what we now do comes is
historical in origin, but it's hard to change behavior when
a lot of people depend on the applicaton. Remember, it has
to work on CLRs from 1.0 through 3.5, on Windows and Linux,
etc. - it's hard to change fundamental behavior. 

Which is why I look forward to making a break with 3.0. :-)
