No, the problem is in R itself.  Remember MASS is a port from S code, and
this works as documented in S.  I am fairly sure it once worked in R too.

Try calling corresp.matrix directly to work around an R bug.

corresp is

> corresp
function (x, ...)
{
    if (is.null(class(x)))
        class(x) <- data.class(x)
    UseMethod("corresp")
}

That correctly sets the class of x to "matrix", but it then dispatches
corresp.default, even though corresp.matrix exists.
