I was confused here. AIC is defined as an S3 method in stats. So, when
you develop stats package ess-developer handles AIC.default correctly
and inserts it, as R expects, both in the namespace and local S3 table.

You can see that it also worked for you. getAnywhere reports only one
object. There is nothing wrong here:

So your original problem is a really different situation. Is your
package on CRAN? Can you provide a reproducible example with your
package?

This messup with function printing is solved in ESS dev.
