Are you decoding it from a 64 bit app?  Because CGRect on 64 bits is made of 
doubles, while on 32 bits (where it was probably encoded) it was made of 
floats....

Also, the exact format for @encode() varies greatly between compiler version 
(especially with regards for things like structure names vs ?, etc...).  This, 
in and of itself, shouldn't make it incompatible, but a structure with two 
structures each with two floats doesn't match with the double-based CGRect.
