Responding to my own question here.
It appears I had overlooked the results from my sample script, as they 
in fact do contain srcref data, but simply do not show them up in str():

f <- textConnection(
"
f <- function(){}

setGeneric('myfun', function(x, ...) standardGeneric('myfun'))

setMethod('myfun', 'numeric', function(x, ...){ 'myfun,numeric' })
")
source(f, keep.source=TRUE)

# there are srcref data for functions
str(f)
# no srcref data
str(attr(myfun, 'srcref'))
str(attr(selectMethod(myfun, 'numeric'), 'srcref'))

So no worries.
