I was unable to duplicate this.  When I tried it by messing up one of 
the man pages in the ellipse package, I got this:

S3 methods shown with full name in documentation object 'ellipse.glm':
   ellipse.glm

The \usage entries for S3 methods should use the \method markup and not
their full name.
See the chapter 'Writing R documentation files' in manual 'Writing R
Extensions'.

"Documentation object 'ellipse.glm'" tells me the \name{} inside the .Rd 
file, which is enough to uniquely identify the file.  Are you not seeing 
this part of the message?
