Right. Class setup is a two-step process.
1. Add the metadata.
2. Make methods and stuff based on that metadata.
If you go back to step 1, you then have to also do step 2 again. If
you don't, then all you've done is altered the metadata, and not the
methods that (should be) made from it.
If you do step 2 more than once, however, you will probably need to
pass a flag that tells RDBO what to do when it finds itself recreating
a method that already exists. The choices are: die, overwrite the old
method, or preserve the old method. Check the docs for initialize(),
make_methods(), and friends to see relevant the flag names.

Hm, that may yet be a bug. But try re-initializing after you mess
with the metadata, or use the pre_ or post_init_hook parameters to
make_classes() to mess with the metadata inside the call to
make_classes().
If you still can't get it to work, post a small, self-contained
reproduction of the bug and I'll look into it.

That's one approach, yes, but as I said above, you can also
re-initialize() the entire class. You just have to choose one of the
non-fatal policies for what to do when conflicts are encountered.
