I haven't tried with 3.3 but this is a known problem.

If you use a plugin build then you can click the "add all
dependencies" button and everything is added for you.

If you use feature build (which is the preferred way) then you must
manually add your dependencies.

It is very easy to miss a dependency.

Build early, build often is a good motto to catch these.
