Try this version:

  t.complex <- function(x) {
    xx <- Conj(x)
    .Internal(t.default(xx))
  }

You get infinite recursion in your example because you keep dispatching on the (complex) result of Conj(x) in t(Conj(x)). I'm not sure if the use of .Internal in user code is sanctioned but it does work for me.

Cheers,
