In the dim depths of my memory (must be going back, ooh, weeks), I seem 
to recall a similar problem that was fixed by making sure that the 
interpreter had seen the STI subclasses before anything else happened, 
because there's a set of conditions that result in them not getting 
loaded automatically.  I may be completely misremembering, but I *think* 
putting a require 'stifile' for each STI subclass file at the end of 
boot.rb does the trick.

Perhaps someone with a less sieve-like memory can pitch in and correct 
me here?
