Just checked, Splus seems to satisfy is.vector(as.vector(x)) for list
matrices and data frames. The R docs have

     'as.vector', a generic, attempts to coerce its argument into a
     vector of mode 'mode' (the default is to coerce to whichever mode
     is most convenient).  The attributes of 'x' are removed.

so I think there is a case for deeming the current behaviour to be a bug...
