Have you tried on any other OS? I did not since installing root is a bit 
too much effort.

I thought we are talking about R-2.13.0?

Where is the R CMD build output (since R CMD build is supposed to 
prepare the vignette).

How objects generated in one chunk can be reused later on is explained 
in the Sweave manual.

See 
http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.8/bioc-20110225/xps/liverpool-checksrc.html 
and find that their Mac Servers are also fine with it. So maybe it is 
your setup that is corrupted?
