i get the same with Pd-0.51.2.
the warning is only emitted in "-verbose" mode, which you probably 
haven't enabled in your local settings of Pd, but which is probably 
on-by-default in camomile.

apart from that:
calling class_addmethod() in the constructor sounds like a bug to me.
it ought to be called in the setup function (along with the other 
class_addmethod() calls) - only once, when the library gets loaded.
this will also greatly reduce the number of times the warning is printed 
from N to 1.

no there's no way (apart from disabling the object itself; which - as i 
explained above - you also need to do for the Pd-vanilla version).
it's Pd's way of saying "something is overriding an internal (it's 
probably ok, but i want you to know)" - and this is exactly what 
[else/click] is doing.
