Imesh,

this kind of errors are the driving reason for our refactoring: in fact,
very often the current implementation fails in listing pre-existing
manually created nodes with exceptions similar to the one you had.

We hope to have a new version soon  to have all of those problems solved.

Best,
Andrea
