That looks like the correct syntax.

It is possible this isn't supported.  However, the reference to PairClassType suggests
"pair class" is either being generated or expected.  A "pair class" is a pair
of a class and an interface used to implement true multiple inheritance.

See the inetrface: property in:
https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Defining-new-classes.html

If you're using define-class you might try using define-simple-class or
explicitly setting the "interface:" class property.

It is also possible Kawa is confused in expecting a PairClassType.
