One possible explanation is that you have a rome.properties file somewhere in your classpath which references invalid rome plugins. That could be either that the plugins are missing or being loaded from a different classloader.
If that isn't the case then it would seem to be a classloading bug.
The code we use to load the plugin is effectively this:
Class clazz = Class.forName(_propertyValues[i], true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader())
Where _propertyValues[i] is a classname from a rome.properties file found on the classpath.
I don't know anything at all about Webobjects, but a bit of searching found this:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webobjects-dev/2007/Mar/msg00644.html which seems to indicate that Webobjects classloading has some unique quirks (in particular the reference to " cross- your-fingers-if-you-have-two-classes-with-the-same-name" seems ominous).
It may be worth forwarding this email to any webobjects experts to see if they have an opinion on why using Class.forName with the Thread context classloader doesn't seem to work.
I've forward this to the ROME dev list in case anyone there has an opinion.

Nick,
We are not using modules.jar to my knowledge, just the rome and jdom
jars.
Thanks
