Yes, his early version of the intuitionistic theory of types was 
inconsistent (as was shown by Girard in 1972). 

Another potential example: it seems to me that in the beginning (ca 1938) 
Godel believed in the truth of V=L (not only in its consistency). Quite 
probably he also believed in the existence of the large cardinals, in 
particular in the existence of measurable cardinals. This, however, is 
consistent. Any comments on that?
