Since it continues to occur after reboot it means there is a problem with the the way the class files have been unpacked to disk.
When an apk is installed and that app already exists, a temp folder for the new instal is created, z and presumably the old instal is removed later. It sounds like in some cases the new instal is being overlaid on the existing app. Perhaps davlik segments static initialzers into separate files and that's why you're seeing these symptoms.
