parseNamespaceFile() doesn't seem to detect misspelled directives. Looking
at its code I see
switch(as.character(e[[1L]]),

stop(gettextf("unknown namespace directive: %s",

but this doesn't seem to function as I expect, viz. to stop with an error
if I type a wrong directive.
You're right, there was a typo in parseNamespaceFile. (The typo was in
this line:
"=", "<-" = {
This should have been
"=" =, "<-" = {
Without the extra = sign, the "=" was taken as the default value of the
switch, and the stop() was never reached.
Conceivably switch() should complain if it is called with more than one
default.
I suspect when I fix this it's going to flush out some typos in packages
on CRAN...

So, it picked up 'export' and ignored the other two lines.
