Invoke generic method via reflection in C# IL2CPP on iOS

This question is specifically about Unity3d IL2CPP and iOS.

Calling a generic method using reflection

class SourceValue<T> { public T value; }
class TargetValue<T> { public T value; }

static TargetValue<T> GenericMethod<T> (SourceValue<T> source) {
    return new TargetValue<T> { value = source.value };
}

void Main () {
    Type genericType = typeof(SourceValue<float>);
    Type typeArg = genericType.GenericTypeArguments[0];
    MethodInfo mi = GetType ().GetMethod ("GenericMethod", Flags | BindingFlags.Static);
    MethodInfo gmi = mi.MakeGenericMethod (typeArg);
    object src = new SourceValue<float> { value = 0.5f };
    object trg = gmi.Invoke (this, new object[] { src });
}

This works as expected when run in the Unity editor on mac. The invocation fails on iOS with error:

ExecutionEngineException: Attempting to call method 'GenericMethod<System.Single>' for which no ahead of time (AOT) code was generated.
at System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, System.Reflection.BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0  

Is it simply that the AOT system can't call generic methods or am i missing something?
