I ran across this issue at work and didn't like any of these answers. I also have the problem that the configuration file is being read in a static constructor which means I can't Mole ConfigurationManager before the static constructor is executed.

I tried this on my home computer and found that the configuration file was being read correctly. It turns out I was using Pex 0.94.51006.1 at home. This is slightly older than the current one. I was able to find a download for the older academic version: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/d2279651-851f-4d7a-bf05-16fd7eb26559/default.aspx

I installed this on my work computer and everything is working perfectly. At this point, I'm downgrading to the older version until a newer working version is released.
