Alright, simpler steps to reproduce, no meta-beaglebone involved or
any local.conf file changes, just the bblayers.conf addition of
meta-mono:


git clone git://git.pokylinux.org/poky.git poky_mono_test
cd poky_mono_test
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-mono
. oe-init-build-env build
nano conf/bblayers.conf (add meta-mono)
bitbake core-image-mono
