"Can you post a proposed patch? I'm not exactly sure where you're proposing to make the change, and if I see it should be able to make a better decision."-----------------

2. [New comment] AssemblyResolve event in PythonContext may load unnecessary assemblies
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33313
User eldan has commented on the issue:

"In PythonContext.cs file of IronPython project I'm pretty sure it was at line 1379 you have the method that was registered to the AssemblyResolve event. The problem is this event jumps a lot of times for no reason when I access my resources in my own code e.g open my form that uses some resources (images)

The issue is that the AssemblyResolve event has a different behaviour in .NET 4.0 than it does in .NET 3.5. Sure, if you return null in the handler you can suppress the event, but this doesn't make any sense from an abstraction point of view. The AssemblyResolve should only be called when a resource cannot be found, and returning null should throw an Exception (as it does in .NET 3.5). My main concern is that the even though the behaviour appears to be different in the new version of .NET, I am unable to find any documentation about the matter. I would expect that if Microsoft decided to make a radical change such as this then they would at least have written something about it on MSDN.

That is the problem 
What I suggest is when you get the assembly name like MyProgram.resources.dll or  Whatever.resources.dll or any assembly name that ends with .resources
you should ignore it and return null 

if (args.Name.EndsWith(".resources.dll")
      return null;

"
