Your example worked for me also. 
The crash rises when invoking at$createActionTo$message for a given shedule.
Thus, say that I define:

Schedule modelSchedule = new ScheduleImpl(getZone(),true);

if I make the following call:

    modelSchedule.at$createActionTo$message(time,agent,
        new Selector(agent.getClass(),"anyMethodOfAgent"));

(where time is some long value and agent is an object of type Agent)
this works fine and the method is called.
The problem is when at$..... is called for a method with arguments like:

   modelSchedule.at$createActionTo$message(time,agent,
        new 
Selector(agent.getClass(),"anotherMethodOfAgent",(Object)arg1,(Object)arg2))

Then you get the message the run-time error: Could not fin Java method, etc, 
etc.

First I though that I was using wrongly the call, but it works for methods for 
the same object that do no have arguments. So I'm confused.
I don't know whether it it is a bug of java-swarm or the bug is mine. Since the 
problem found for histograms that you solved for us we've written a lot of code 
and no problems have been found so far (your reply made us understand how 
java-swarm was organised), but right now we are blocked with this thing which 
prevents us from ensembling the whole thing into a simulation. 
Lots of thanks Marcus.
