I had time to get a quick look at this, no solution yet, but what I found out 
is that the problem is not related to the classes displayed in the backtrace. 
It is rather java.lang.Object.getClass() which is broken somewhere: it always 
returns java.lang.Class as the object`s class (see first line in backtrace: 
it actually is an IllegalArgumentException). This already happens at the 
stack frame in the beginning of the backtrace, this is only the first time 
where it results in an error.
No time today to look into this any further.
