If your plugin has dynamic ports, you had a binding set up that its not re-creating/re-initialising on instantation. You have to make sure you handle the serializable keys.
if you plugin does not create dynamic ports, did you perhaps re-declare or re-name an output port, but the composition was saved in an earlier revision of your plugin? Now its has a serialized reference in the QTZ to connect a non existing output port. Test: Make a new comp, put an instance of your plugin patch in there. Save it. Re open it. Should be good.
