Follow-up Comment #18, bug #55143 (group octave):

I am not sure what happens on Windows or Octave 11, but up until 10.3,
unloading a package with classdefs, which have been already used to create
variables in the workspace, did not completely removed them from Octave's
symbol table. At least I think so, because if I would load back the package,
then trying to do anything with these classdefs would brake Octave.

What I am doing in datatypes to avoid this is I invoke *clear -c* upon
unloading the package, which might screw the workspace but at least does no
crash Octave.
