Background...

When a module is renamed, as sometimes occurs between upgrades, object instances cannot be reconciled to their filesystem classes.

In such cases curretnly a SystemError is raised with an inadequate message, that does not help find the source of the problem.

Fix...

Applying the attached patch in OFS will provide an early clue as to the source of the problem, and reduce time to fix.
