Do yourself a favour and check what the actual names are:

foo$"G-G Pr"

works in both forms. Notice that these are the epsilon-corrected 
p-values, and not the epsilons themselves.

If they differ by a factor of N/(f+1) where f is the number of df for 
the SSD matrix (alias N-k if all you have is a grouping into k groups), 
then SPSS has the same bug as SAS. (This is also mentioned in the R news 
paper).
