I've had that problem with Modula 3 compilation (nothing to do with 
OCaml, but the cause may be similar.  It seems to be  failure in the 
mechnism that does dependency analysis and determined what has to be 
recompiled from scratch insted of from original source.  The bug 
hasn't been tracked down in Modula 3 either.

Deleting all compiler-generated files (which Modula 3 conveniently 
keeps segregated in a directory of their own) makes everything work 
again.  After doing this, of course it isn't repeatable either.
