We\'re randomly getting some very strange error logs. They don\'t happen on every page hit, even with the same parameters/actions/etc, and they don\'t seem repeatable, each

Are you receiving this serialized object from a service/stream or reading it from a file? I've seen it happen in a client-server setting the client side object and the server side objects differ very slightly... maybe have a property that the other doesn't have. This also happens when you serialize an object, save it to file, then refactor code that removes a class and then try's to deserialize the object.

Then when it gets deserialized and tries to instantiate the needed classes they don't exist.

The error is clear and straightforward, you're creating a object for which the class has not been loaded.

I'd do a string search on your code, find where the needed class is located, and make a simple autoloader (or just a raw include/require) of the file. Just get the class it needs loaded somehow.

If the class really doesn't exist anywhere, try checking earlier revisions (I'm assuming you have version control of some type) for existence of the class. If you're deserializing an object generated by another system check that system out as well.
