There are two fixes for that, one simple (don't allow reclassing of objects to classes) or a more complex one (do more or less a recreate automatically when this happens; it tries to keep the object information as far as possible).
I don't know the internals really of XOTcl but basically making an object a class would mean giving it the methods 'instproc' and 'new' and various other stuff, thus allowing an instance of it to be created. I guess it's some internal thing if it has to be recreated? In some sense it would be 'pure' if this was possible.
I wonder if this has any relevance to changing the meta-class of a class?
