Peter, This is a relatively "new" warning from R CMD check (for some definition of new). The authors of Hmisc have clearly not yet gone through the process of cleaning it up, as you are doing right now (and there are many other packages that still need to address this, including several of mine). Given who the authors are of Hmisc, I would suggest writing to them and ask them to look into this, and ask for a time estimate.
In the meantime, you may have to do something about this, and whatever you do I would suggest following the Hmisc package and undo it as soon as possible, as the right thing is to fix Hmisc. Having said that, it is not clear to me that you can easily solve this yourself, because I don't think that putting survival into your own imports will make the package available to Hmisc functions, but it is not impossible there is some way around it.
