Yep. Seems that we need a
formula.lm<-function(x)formula(x$terms)

We had that topic a while back. I think it was concluded that it is a
feature, because mixing model formulas and arithmetic ditto is bad
practice. (I don't have any strong feeling about this, personally. As
long as R won't introduce those awful Helmert contrasts as default...)
