There are two issues with split packages, - if you have the same class in each part of the package, the behavior of your problem depend on the order in the classpath, i've experienced this kind of bugs with two different libraries requiring different version of ASM, at runtime, a class of the older version was calling a class of the newer version :( - security, if you allow split packages, you allow anybody to insert any classes in any packages.
