I think I fixed this today ... but not 100% sure if this the best way to do 
this . Also enum serialization is suspect (where do I find documentation of 
this ?)

Summary:  Constants to ObjectRefs for Attribute Arguments

Original Submission:  What it seems to do is convert the enum into a
type-0x55 serialization value (IL_META_SERIALTYPE_ENUM), which we don't
currently handle properly.

If I'm understanding it correctly, type-0x55 represents an enum constant that
is converted into a boxed object at runtime, rather than a simple integer
enum value.

There are two things to be fixed: (a) recognise that it is OK to coerce a
constant to a reference type (ILTypeIsReference) in an attribute argument, as
long as regular type coercion says its OK; (b) fix the serialization code (in
multiple places) to handle reference types appropriately.
