Thanks Martin. I had already changed the second argument to getOption.
By the way, per an off list comment from Brian R the bug I was addressing won't affect
anyone using R as shipped; the default decimal separator is "." whatever the region. It
only bit those who set the OutDec option themselves.

a late and minor remark: If you use the above, a slightly more expressive
preferred way is
type.convert(levels(factor(1:6/2)), dec = getOption("OutDec"))
