Thanks.  I've "fixed" this for now by disallowing CHANGE-CLASS of
metaobjects in line with AMOP; while it would be relatively simple to
allow generic functions to be changed (by flushing all the caches in
update-instance-for-redefined-class...) I'm not wild about the idea,
so I'll leave that implementation to someone who needs it.

Cheers,
