I have tried running this code using the built in IronPython (listed as

I get the same result, using a random checkout I have on my Mac. Also, the
version that comes with Mono is way out of date (and I thought they stopped
including it for that reason).

I'm not sure how good Mono's WinForms implementation is, although something
that simple should work. I'd have to hook up a debugger to take a look; it
might be some interaction between IronPython and Mono that's causing the
issue.

It's not out of the question that you're the first person to try using
IronPython with WinForms on a Mac. Failing that, I believe Gtk# may also be
an option.
