I see as below, where getGeneric and getMethod imply a different signature; the signature is mode="any" for both cases in R version 3.2.3 Patched (2016-01-28 r70038)I don't know how to reproduce Jeff's error, though.

The problem ... I also have stumbled over .. is that I'm sure Jeff is accidentally loading a different version of 'Matrix' than the one that is part of R-devel. Jeff you must accidentally be loading a version Matrix made with R 3.2.x in R 3.3.0 and that will fail with the as.vector() mismatch error message. (and IIRC, you also get such an error message if you load a 3.3.0-built version of Matrix into a non-3.3.0 version of R).
