Hi Gert, In our case, it does harm us.
We have a custom deployment process which validates that all the dependencies of an assembly can be found on a target machine before deployment begins. In the case I described previously (A --> B --> C), Assembly A and Assembly B are deployed to different machines, and so Assembly C is not required to be deployed to the first machine. The deployment check fails because in the Assembly A meta-data it finds a reference to Assembly C, but can't actually find Assembly C on the target machine.

If I recall correctly, we needed to recursively reference assemblies because of some issue with vbc (we do not need to do this for csc). I'll have a closer look later today.
