Some plugins fail to (re)load properly because of ClassLoader mismatches which I don't really understand yet (gotta fresh up on reflection and bukkit internals I guess). So far that happened to me with Essentials and dynmap which I added to the default exception list. I suspect this will affect all plugins which have "internal" plugins/modules themselves.
