It appears that you are referencing a PortableClassLibrary. Portable Class Libraries pick up some of the basic types (like object/string/etc) from "System.Runtime.dll". However, in the desktop framework these come from mscorlib.dll. When you use typeof(object).Assembly, you get Roslyn's own version of object. Since Roslyn is not built as Portable Class Libraries, that is the one from mscorlib, and doesn't match the identity of your other references.
