I've often through it would be nice to have a 'redirecting'
classloader in these sort of circumstances.

Have some rules/conditions which map from one fully qualified
classname to another.

So a simple case might be

Requested -> Actual
x.y.z.A   -> x.y.z.B

Perhaps you can allready get similar functionality ( and more ) with
AOP frameworks?

Potentially confusing, but also useful I think.

Either that or stub and deprecate the old fully qualified classnames.
