Thanks. Could you please clarify: The thread you mention refers to a 
scenario where a package uses another package that depends on methods. 
The issue I'm describing doesn't have this, there is only a single 
package that tries to use $new and fails. ?

On that note: A related discussion on R-devel advises depending on 
methods, but this doesn't seem to be enough in this case:
