This goodie, available on the Manchester Goodies Server, may help out. 

enhanced-condense-changes.st (2.3) Neil Dyer
   The standard method of condensing the changes file loses all
   changes to class definitions and all new class definitions. This
   means an image cannot be rebuilt from a condensed changes file. The
   changes here cause class definitions to be placed on the condensed
   changes file as changes (in super class order). Its slower because
   the changes file has to be scanned, but then how often do you
   condense your changes files.

It's for VI2.3, and so may not work with your version.  If you verify
it does, or fix it if it doesn't, please let me know.
