It sounds like the package/classes concerned needs to be recompiled.
(There is a recompile package menu item in Monticello (context-menu of
the left pane of the main working copy/repository browser)).

This is a problem which used to occur occasionally when using Monticello
version 1.5, if a more recent version of a package re-orders instance
variables and compilation fails for some reason. This should have been
fixed in recent versions of MC1.5. If you are using MC1.5 and still have
this problem do let me know.
