This is interesting. The fact that there are so few texts on the subject probably means that very few are using OO programming methods in R.
That's overstating the problem. I frequently run into OO R packages and many of them are very nicely done. Some good examples you could follow are the packages: 'simecol','lme4', and 'pomp'.
The main issue I see is that R's OO model is different than C++/PHP/Java (the ones I'm familiar with). Due to that difference a resource tightly focused on programming technique would be very valuable---it would make the process of getting into writing 'correct' OO packages simpler.
