Another issue raised in the earlier thread is that as.data.frame.POSIXlt
still calls as.data.frame.POSIXct.  Hence another path to a false positive
deprecation warning would be:

> Sys.setenv("_R_CHECK_AS_DATA_FRAME_EXPLICIT_METHOD_" = TRUE)
> as.data.frame(as.POSIXlt(.POSIXct(0, "UTC")))
  as.POSIXlt(.POSIXct(0, "UTC"))
1                     1970-01-01
Warning message:
Direct call of 'as.data.frame.POSIXct()' is deprecated. Use 'as.data.frame.vector()' or 'as.data.frame()' instead

as.data.frame.POSIXlt could simply change to using as.data.frame.vector.

I glanced at the other non-deprecated as.data.frame.<class> and did not
see other usage of the deprecated ones ... a more systematic check could
be worth doing.

The logic of the now soft-deprecated as.data.frame.<class>,

  > body(as.data.frame.integer)[[2L]]
if ((sys.nframe() <= 1L || sys.call(-1L)[[1L]] != quote(as.data.frame)) &&
      nzchar(Sys.getenv("_R_CHECK_AS_DATA_FRAME_EXPLICIT_METHOD_")))
.Deprecated(msg = gettextf("Direct call of '%s()' is deprecated.  Use '%s()' or
'%s()' instead",
      "as.data.frame.integer", "as.data.frame.vector", "as.data.frame"))

may need adjustment to avoid false positives such as this one:

  > Sys.setenv("_R_CHECK_AS_DATA_FRAME_EXPLICIT_METHOD_" = TRUE)
  > f <- as.data.frame
  > f(0L)
    0L
1  0
Warning message:
Direct call of 'as.data.frame.integer()' is deprecated.  Use
'as.data.frame.vector()' or 'as.data.frame()' instead

i.e., the condition sys.call(-1L)[[1L]] != quote(as.data.frame) is not precise
enough ... would !identical(sys.function(-1L), as.data.frame) work instead?
