It might have something to do with the error coming from your constructor. That is, its happening when JSF is initializing your managed beans. I would say use a debugger to figure out who's calling your constructor. If it isn't happening inside the FacesServlet, then most JSF things won't work. This might indicate a MyFaces problem.
