Roger,
I had managed to run R CMD check on sp successfully on r39021 and r39043
(current) in my nightly checks. (There are a couple of tests where the
show/print method is not being invoked, but that is not new.)
All I can suggest is to install R from scratch (make distclean), and then
reinstall all relevant packages. At a guess, your interactive use and R
CMD check are picking up different libraries.
There are around a dozen S4-using packages on CRAN that are currently
failing their checks: some look like newly-discovered bugs but some look
like problems in S4 dispatch (even of S3 dispatch for S3 generics turned
into S4 generics). More are producing apparently incorrect warnings.
