This is now fixed in R-devel (never actually bit anyone, did it?)
Thanks for fixing... before someone gets bitten :-)
as.vector() just made it into the BiocGenerics package, and the man
page for BiocGenerics::as.vector redirects the reader to the man page
for base::as.vector for the conventions that writers of methods for
"as.vector" should follow. Having base::as.vector actually follow
those conventions increases the chances that writers of "as.vector"
methods will follow them too, which is good.
Cheers,
H.

is.vector(as.vector("a", "name"), "name")

Mmmh, the default method itself doesn't seem to follow its own
conventions :-/
Looks like there should be a straightforward fix, since
is.vector(as.vector("a", "name"), "symbol")
[1] TRUE
so it is just a matter of implementing "name" as synomyous with "symbol".
