Well, I couldn't find a bug report either, but here's somebody talking
about a fix they used (they used the tool from Mono with minor
modifications)

You'll have to split some of the file payload out into an external
CAB file and sign the CAB file separately. Its a known issue with the
signing tool.
Thank you for your quick response! This is good and bad news; good to
know that I'm not doing something wrong, but...
I believe you that's it's a known problem, but my customer doesn't. They
want an explanation/bug report/knowledge base article/note from Bill
Gate's mom/etc. Do you know of somewhere this has been discussed in the
past?
Thanks again for your help.
