For what it's worth, saying

prior to library(oligoClasses) leads to
7: loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source =
keep.source
8: methods:::cacheMetaData(ns, TRUE, ns)
9: getGeneric(f, FALSE, searchWhere, fpkg)
10: tryCatch(loadNamespace(package), error = function(e) e)
where 'package' is oligoClasses in lines 7 and 10, and the 'f' in 9 is
'relocateObject'. Line 10 is evaluated when methods:::.getGeneric
returns NULL.
In oligoClasses we have
oligoClasses/R> grep relocateObject *
AllGenerics.R:setGeneric("relocateObject", function(object, ...)
standardGeneric("relocateObject"))
methods-CNSet.R:relocateObject <- function(object, to){
which I guess is not as intended.
My guess is that setGeneric adds the generic to a cache of some sort
when the name space is created, but doesn't remove it when the generic
is overwritten by a plain function.
No idea why this shows up in the current R revision.
