Don't worry I know the difference between vtables and methods. At
least, it is becoming clearer.

I am trying to hunt down the bug here: -

.sub '' :main
    .local pmc cint, cfooint
    cfooint = subclass 'Integer', 'FooInt'

    $P0 = new 'Integer'
    $P0 = 10
    sub $P0, 1
    say $P0

    $P0 = new 'FooInt'
    $P0 = 10
    sub $P0, 1
    say $P0
.end

The sub on the FooInt uses a vtable not a method. So bizarrely we get
an error: -

Multiple Dispatch: No suitable candidate found for 'i_subtract_int',
with signature 'PI'

So find_method doesn't seem to look vtables for derived types whereas
it does for base types.
