I have used Sturgeon's little workaround for several years now on a great many sites.
I don't believe it is suddenly having a problem on two libraries out of the blue.

@jmadsen, Nothing is suddenly happening. Have you ever checked your error logs while using Sturgeons little workaround?
Because of the way it is coded every library loaded will also cause the __autoload function to fire looking for a matching class extension in the application/core directory. You should get an error message for every missing file.
For your own reference check out the CI_Loader::_ci_init_class() method and the use of the class_exists() function.
