Having trouble building release version of Monogame app for WP8

Question

I'm using VS 2012 update 4 and MonoGame 3.3.

My game compiles, builds and runs on the emulators in debug mode. When I switch the compiler configuration to Release for Any CPU, I get error messages 'The type or namespace name 'Xna' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Unfortunately the WP8 version of MonoGame doesn't support "Any CPU", so you have to switch back and forth between x86 (for running in the
emulator) and ARM (for running on a real device, and for publishing to the store).

Unfortunate, but it looks like I just need to skip over the automated tests. This seems a little strange since this stuff worked just fine under VS Express for WP7.
