I get a warning when adding the reference and while building, but it builds just fine.

BTW, this is because IKVM.OpenJDK.Core has a couple of extention methods and references System.Core.dll, Visual Studio assumes that an assembly that references System.Core.dll requires .NET 3.5, but that's a wrong assumption, IKVM 0.42 works and is supported on .NET 2.0 SP1 and higher.

I've never run into any issues with the version I'm using, so I didn't see any need to upgrade.
