Usually (but not always) doing tests of normality reflect a lack of understanding of the power of rank tests, and an assumption of high power for the tests (qq plots don't always help with that because of their subjectivity).

My solution when I run into mysteries like this is to put 'browser()' in the function just before or after the line of interest. The magnitude and direction of my stupidity usually become clear quickly.
