Duncan,
Actually, I had this problem building a package of mine (psych)
from source. It also happens with one of the core installations
(methods in the util package) which I downloaded from the development
site for the Mac.
Using 2.9.1

S3Methods, class, getS3method.
For S4, showMethods, Methods.
but using
2.10.0

S3Methods, class, .
For S4, showMethods, Methods.
(note that the getS3method is missing following the comma).
I first noticed this problem when I installed 2.10.0 using the 08-19
build. I am sorry, but I do not have that version number.)
I can use the 05-22 build and it is not a problem.
I also note that when compiling from source, in the 5-22 build, the
help files are built for text, html, latex, and examples
00.psych-package text html latex example
Harman text html latex example
ICC text html latex example
...
but, when using the most recent build I get
*** installing help indices
converting help for package 'psych'
finding HTML links ... done
00.psych-package html
Harman html
My sessionInfo() is

I have noticed that many cross references in the help files using
the \code{\link{foo}} command in the .Rd file fail to work in
2.10.0. Unfortunately, it fails only some of the time.
As an example, consider the lines in the factanal help file:
Using 2.10.0
Sorry, please ignore the "can't find factanal" part of my previous
message, you're talking about the factanal man page in stats (as
Michael Dewey pointed out to me).
But the advice still stands: you may need to rebuild from source to
get all the help working. If you're working with a binary build,
try again with a newer one when it is available. r49420 isn't very
old, but it might be old enough so that something like this has been
fixed.

I do not know if this is just a Mac issue, but it is troublesome.
For 2.10.0 (development) I am using:

Thanks to all the developers of such a great program.
