While not wholly directed towards OO programming, 'R Programming for
Bioinformatics' does cover both the S3 and S4 systems (and how to make
them play nicely together) at an accessible level.

That's overstating the problem. I frequently run into OO R packages and
many of them are very nicely done. Some good examples you could follow
are the packages: 'simecol','lme4', and 'pomp'.
The main issue I see is that R's OO model is different than C++/PHP/Java
(the ones I'm familiar with). Due to that difference a resource tightly
focused on programming technique would be very valuable---it would make
the process of getting into writing 'correct' OO packages simpler.
