Incompatibility with VGAM

I just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded,
glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() 
which gets found
by glm() in place of the family function from stats.
Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family 
component, (it has a component
$vfamily).

I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening?
