Try a younger build, at least 1.4.1 or 1.5 final ! Your is more than 6 months old...

Closing bug as invalid ?

These errors pop up due to obsolete components (often 3rd party extensions).
This is particularly true in alphas where lots of change has happened, and where
less thought is given to cleanup in the install. Always install into a fresh
directory, or stick to final release versions.
