we're been getting those errors as well and found one cause for them.

Quick test:
move public/ dir somewhere else and try again.
If it works that narrows it down quite a bit, to an error in the
public dir.
we had 2 broken symlink which causes the open call to fail and
therefore com.google.gwt.dev.util.Util.copy

If I get some time on my hands I'll see if I can write a patch so that
com.google.gwt.dev.util.Util.copy gives a more useful error message,
but we have a deadline comming up shortly
