First guess: Did you perhaps build with Runtime Packages enabled? (Look under "Project>Options>Packages" there's a "Build with Runtime Packages" checkbox near the bottom of the tab). Having this turned on means you must distribute any packages listed in the edit box just above with your App in order for it to work. Normally missing packages result in a pretty recognizable error message, but I can imagine something like you describe resulting depending on several factors.
