As per Roman Nikitin Comment:

I found issue myself. There was wrong reference to System.Web.Optimization.dll, my website tried to use old version. Deleting package and then re-adding helps not every time.

The solution is: fully delete old package, references and package configurations from all web-sites and then add it again.
