Error Using Stacky v1.0 Binaries in an Azure Worker Role

The following error is being thrown when calling the StackyClient.GetUser method from within an Azure Worker Role:

Method 'ReadJson' in type 'Stacky.UnixDateTimeConverter' 
from assembly 'Stacky, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.

at Stacky.StackyClient.GetUser(Int32 userId) in C:\Code\Stacky\trunk\source\Stacky\StackyClient\UserMethods.cs:line 47

The code that generates the error:

StackyClient stackyClient = new StackyClient("1.0", myApiKey, Sites.StackOverflow, new UrlClient(), new JsonProtocol());
Stacky.User stackyUser = stackyClient.GetUser(123456);

The exact same code and binaries will run without issue in a WinForms application. It is only when used within a Windows Azure role and running in the local dev fabric or in the cloud that the error is generated.

Both the Stacky and Newtonsoft.Json DLLs are referenced in the worker role, both have the "Copy Local" property set to true, and both have been verified as present in the bin directories.

Has anyone successfully used the Stacky library in an Azure role? If so, are there any additional steps required beyond referencing the DLLs?
