Can't load assembly generated with code in a new Application Domain

I have an asp.net application, which generates assemblies on the fly from user scripts. It's all working good, but now I want to run the assembly in a SandBox application domain with reduced permissions. When I load the assembly in a new application domain, I get the Exception

Could not load file or assembly 'genb3336c1d82074079911fb70bd8bd7e65.dll, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

In an effort to see what's happening, I saved the generated assembly to disk and just wrote a simple application with the following code

string path = @"test.dll";
byte[] buffer = File.ReadAllBytes(path);

var assembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load(buffer); //This works

var appDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Test");
assembly = appDomain.Load(buffer); //Exception

Again when I try to load the assembly in the new domain, I get the same exception. Loading it in the CurrentDomain works fine.

Then I created a class library with just a class and the source code I generated the dll from. Source code is minimal, 2 lines of code in a method. Now when I build and load this dll in the new application domain, it loads just fine.

I opened the 2 dlls in ILSpy and they look identical enter image description here

So I have no idea what's wrong with the generated dll. I generate the assembly using the following code.

public class ScriptCompiler
{
    public static (byte[], byte[], Assembly) Compile((string Source, string Path)[] sources, string[] references, params Type[] types)
    {
        var assemblyName = "gen" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-", "") + ".dll";
        byte[] rawAssembly;
        byte[] rawPdb;

#if DEBUG
        var encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        var symbolsName = Path.ChangeExtension(assemblyName, "pdb");

        var sourceTexts = sources
            .Select(s => new { Buffer = encoding.GetBytes(s.Source), s.Source, s.Path })
            .Select(b => new { SourceText = SourceText.From(b.Buffer, b.Buffer.Length, encoding, canBeEmbedded: true), b.Path });

        var syntaxTrees = sourceTexts
            .Select(s => new { Tree = CSharpSyntaxTree.ParseText(s.SourceText, new CSharpParseOptions(), s.Path), s.Path })
            .Select(t => new { Node = t.Tree.GetRoot() as CSharpSyntaxNode, t.Path })
            .Select(n => CSharpSyntaxTree.Create(n.Node, null, n.Path, encoding));

        var options = new CSharpCompilationOptions(OutputKind.DynamicallyLinkedLibrary).WithOptimizationLevel(OptimizationLevel.Debug);
#else
        var syntaxTrees =
            from source in sources.Select(s => s.Source)
            select CSharpSyntaxTree.ParseText(source);

        var options = new CSharpCompilationOptions(OutputKind.DynamicallyLinkedLibrary).WithOptimizationLevel(OptimizationLevel.Release);
#endif

        var typeRefs = new List<MetadataReference>();
        foreach (var type in types)
        {
            typeRefs.Add(MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(type.Assembly.Location));
        }

        var compilation = CSharpCompilation.Create(assemblyName,
            options: options,
            syntaxTrees: syntaxTrees,
            references: typeRefs.Union(references.Select(r => MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(r))));

        EmitResult emitResult;

        using (var peStream = new MemoryStream())
        using (var pdbStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
#if DEBUG
            emitResult = compilation.Emit(
                peStream: peStream,
                pdbStream: pdbStream,
                embeddedTexts: sourceTexts.Select(s => EmbeddedText.FromSource(s.Path, s.SourceText)),
                options: new EmitOptions(debugInformationFormat: DebugInformationFormat.PortablePdb, pdbFilePath: symbolsName)
            );
#else
            emitResult = compilation.Emit(peStream: peStream);
#endif

            if (emitResult.Success)
            {
                rawAssembly = peStream.GetBuffer();
                rawPdb = pdbStream.GetBuffer();
                var assembly = Assembly.Load(rawAssembly, rawPdb);
                return (rawAssembly, rawPdb, assembly);
            }
        }

        var message = string.Join("\r\n", emitResult.Diagnostics);
        throw new ApplicationException(message);
    }
}

Anyone got any idea?

Edit: This is the fusionLog. I don't know how to interpret it.
