Duncan that does indeed look to be the case. Many thanks!
In particular, tests/reg-tests-1d.R optionally loads the Matrix
namespace which allows the test to succeed. Compare:
~/R-rc_2019-04-21_r76409/bin/Rscript -e "options(warn=2);
library(Matrix); res <- findMethods('isSymmetric'); print('success')"
[1] "success"
versus
~/R-rc_2019-04-21_r76409/bin/Rscript -e "options(warn=2); res <-
findMethods('isSymmetric'); print('success')"
Error in findMethods("isSymmetric") :
(converted from warning) non-generic function 'isSymmetric' given
to findMethods()
Execution halted

Likely the problem is that you don't have the recommended packages
loaded. When I was running tests regularly, they were required.
Later, I think they became optional. Perhaps a new test has been
added that once again assumes the required packages are installed.
