Thanks Toby and Jeff for chiming in on this.
Jeff: I already read Kurt Hornik's post on "S3 Method Lookup" and quite

The main point is that failing to register the methods works in that the
methods are nevertheless invoked internally by functions in the package

I have been reluctant to pipe up on this because I am no expert on the dark
corners of the S3 dispatch mechanism, but I think unregistered S3 methods in
packages are verboten. Perhaps [1] will shed some light?
