I've seen this happen occasionally myself.  But I've only seen it happen 
during the when it fails during the install phase of the compile, after 
prepare_install.  You have to remove the old, prior to installing the 
new.  So I'm not really sure of a good fix, maybe keep track of the old 
version, and if the spell fails after the install try a 'dispel -d 
<olderversion>?'
