A quick and ugly fix for this is to replace the call to match.fun in
lapply with

FUN <- eval.parent(substitute(match.fun(FUN)))

This also applies (!) to various other places that need to deal with
FUN arguments (apply, sapply, sweep, outer). It might be preferable to
make match.fun smarter, at the expense of making it completely
obscure.
