broom.mixed installs correctly but raises errors and is not loaded

[DesiQuintans]

Ran into an issue where a GitHub package (bbolker/broom.mixed) correctly installed but shelf() reports that the package "failed to install and was not attached" (see Output 1 below for console dump). But it did indeed install — I can see it in my R Library folder — so only the latter part of that error is true.

Trying to attach the package with shelf() raises the same error (Output 2), making it clear that a) the package is installed because shelf() can see it, and b) shelf fails to attach it. Attaching it with base R method library() works just fine, and since library() is what shelf() uses internally, the package must not be getting to the attachment phase at all.

Is this an issue with the . in the package name?
