Mark, there was a period of incompatible builds, during which the classes
referenced from wizard components had different names. This has been changed
back as soon as we realized that this brought trouble. 

Apparently you had this incompatible build installed, and it caused problems.
The workaround suggested by Honza is correct. We will make sure not to introduce
such incompatibilities in the future. I;m now marking this issue as FIXED.
