This is a known issue.

From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh403974.aspx

Applies to: Applies to SDK1.3 and later using a full IIS web role and Windows Identity Foundation.

Symptom: You encounter the following exception on the first call to a RoleEnvironment method.

[SerializationException: Unable to find assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.]

Cause: The Windows Identity Foundation assemblies are not properly installed to the Windows Azure virtual machine.

Resolution: Use a startup task to reinstall the Windows Identity Foundation package on the virtual machine.
