How do you generate the .zo files?

If you use something like

 mzc --zo *.zo

then it may be that B is compiled before A, which means that A gets
compiled twice. Something in the contract system causes the compiled
code to be slightly different after each compilation (I need to look
into this, eventually). You can avoid the mismatch compiling A first,
so that the compiled form is used to compile B.

If you use

 mzc --make *.zo

or

 setup-plt -l <your-collection>

then the files should be compiled in the right order.
