Ack. That package is in a funny spot upstream. It is being maintained 'by courtesy' because other packages depend upon, the original author / maintainer (and also a [former ?] R Core member) is largely inactive. I will take a look, likely de-activate the failing test and communicate with 'upstream caretakers' i.e. the maintainers of the CRAN repo.
