This lists my package classes and the class help pages. Instead, the "Arithmetic Operators" help page is always loaded. I can load the pages I want via links like \linkS4class{classname} in my package help page.

The problem is the parsing: that is parsed as `?`(stats4::mle - class),
i.e. there's a subtraction there, not a name with a hyphen in it. So
you're seeing help on subtraction.
You can get what you want with class?stats4::mle.
I'll see if I can fix the advice from ??.
