The bug described is occurring with all recent distributions available!

I discovery today, after install R version 3.2.2 beta (2015-08-04 r68843),
that the bug happens when I copy my packages from old distribution to the
library folder (being careful not to overwrite the newer ones that comes
with the distribution). I've been doing this for a long time.

As are many, it would be labor-intensive (but not impossible) to find those
responsible for the bug. If you decide that it is necessary I can go
testing package by package.

Best,
