Brian,
I added .libPaths() and sessionInfo() to the offending example, and tried
with a fresh svn checkout built in a fresh directory and installed in a
fresh directory (no sp or methods in /home/rsb/topics/r_libs, which was
set with export R_LIBS=):
> data(state)
> .libPaths()
[1] "/home/rsb/topics/packages/sp-bundle/sp.Rcheck"
[2] "/home/rsb/topics/r_libs"
[3] "/home/rsb/topics/Rtobe240/lib/R/library"
> sessionInfo()

Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) :
unable to find an inherited method for function "initialize", for
signature "integer"
Execution halted
I also tried to replicate the problem by making a new, very small, package
with just the apparently offending files:
spS4:
DESCRIPTION man/ NAMESPACE R/
spS4/man:
char2dms.Rd DMS-class.Rd
spS4/R:
AAA.R dms.R
and edited DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, and AAA.R to suit. In this setting
there was no problem. I'll carry on looking. None of these files has
changed between released 0.8-18 and CVS 0.8-19.
