This *is* a bug in package Matrix and yes, bugs in packages can be bad enough to stop a saved image (sic) being loaded. You could have started R --no-restore and load()ed it later.
Matrix has several uses of assignInNamespace in .onLoad and .onUnload, and that is in package utils and so not necessarily loaded. Try loading Matrix with R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL to reproduce this. R-bugs was not the appropriate place to report this, as the FAQ makes quite clear.
