This feels like you’re getting into the bleeding edges of MOP. My
understanding is that a MVMContext is purely a runtime thing. Not sure how it
comes to be that the MVMContext needs serializing, but that error message
indicates that the VM is not ready to do that.
So my guess is that somehow during compilation, the MVMContext gets added to
the SC (Serialization Context) when it shouldn’t.
Most likely Timo Paulssen or Jonathan Worthington can give you better answers.
