Not a bug. For sp in particular, please simply re-install the contributed 
package, and possibly others, because (as noted in NEWS) there are 
incompatibilities in the way classes are built in binary packages between 
R 2.3.1 and R 2.4.0:

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

It is possible that you also have an old version of the recommended 
package foreign in your library path - look at what:

.libPaths()

says and see if an old foreign isn't lurking ahead of the 2.4.0 one built 
with the binary you installed. Output of .sessionInfo() and .libPaths() 
may lead you to the root of the problem.
