Did you leave out the warning from "+", which should be an error,
as it produces an illegal ordered factor in this case and factor+factor
is nonsensical?  Or is the warning missing in the current development
version of R?

> x <- factor("A", ordered=FALSE) + factor(c("B","C"), ordered=TRUE)
Warning message:
Incompatible methods ("Ops.factor", "Ops.ordered") for "+"
> str(x) # 2 levels, so integer codes of 3 is illegal
ordered[1:2] w/ 2 levels B<C:  2 3
