     Just guessing, because I've never encountered this particular
error (nor do I use Maven), BUT it doesn't appear to me that lack
of thread safety is a cause of the problem.  The JVM Specification
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-5.html>
describes various causes of IncompatibleClassChangeError, and they
all seem to be involved with troubles that arise while loading,
linking, or initializing a class (or interface) that the JVM hasn't
yet seen.  If the error occurs so early in the class' life cycle,
then none of the class' code has yet had a chance to execute -- so
whatever bugs might lie in that code have not yet come into play.

     Still guessing (maybe "speculating" would be better): You mention
an "old version" of your object, suggesting that there's more than
one version floating around.  And maybe there are multiple versions
of some other classes in play, too.  Could it be that Maven has an
old version of class X in a cache somewhere, and that the old X is
incompatible with the new Y you're trying to load?

     As I said: Just guessing.
