I've given that a go and it works ! !
*W* *T* *F*. The two methods should be equivalent.
I'll comment the livedocs URL too and include this thread.

Cheers for that. You must grab me at a Flex or ColdFusion conference and let 
me buy you a beer* :-)

Here is the fixed version of classConstruct to go into the sample code from 
the OP:
        private static function classConstruct():Boolean {
            // If there is no CSS definition for our style, 
            // then create one and set the default value.

            if (!StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent"))
            {
                /*breaks var newStyleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration = 
                    new CSSStyleDeclaration();
                newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("dayNamesFontSize", 12);
                
                newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("dayNamesFontColor", 0x000000);
                    
                newStyleDeclaration.setStyle("fooBackGround", 0xffffff);
                
                StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent", 
newStyleDeclaration, true);*/
                /* works */
                var cursorStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = new 
CSSStyleDeclaration();
                                cursorStyle.defaultFactory = function():void
                                {
                                        this.dayNamesFontSize = 12;
                                        this.dayNamesFontColor = 0x000000;
                                        this.fooBackGround = 0xffffff;
                                }
                                
StyleManager.setStyleDeclaration("TestStyleComponent", cursorStyle, true);
            }
            return true;
        }
