RT4 should be isolated from RT3's files. In your case files of RT3 are
installed in perl's default paths, so RT4 finds them and loads. In RT4
we merged XXX.pm and XXX_Overlay.pm, but code still loads
XXX_Overlay.pm files. In your case it's old code from RT3 that gets
mixed with new code.

Either cleanup your system or the following patch to prevent loading
of overlay files. I can not promisse patch would fix all issues.

diff --git a/lib/RT/Base.pm b/lib/RT/Base.pm
