Thanks David

I don't believe object-set-name-string was marked as a depreciated
function. I may have not been running against the trunk, but I believe my
compile failed instead of issued a warning.

I think the authors intent is that people access the object name with
eieio-named so using this function directly was not supported.

I have changed my code to solely use eieio-named, so compile warnings on
either 24.3 or 24.4 are not issued.
