Not really, other than trying a LaTeX expert.  When I run your file 
through latex using

R CMD latex Rd2.tex

it compiles fine with no errors (only an "underfull hbox" warning).

One thought:  some people install copies of Rd.sty into their local tex 
installation.  If that version isn't compatible with the current macros 
generated by R, you could have problems.  You should see something like

(F:/R/svn/r-devel/R/share/texmf/tex/latex\Rd.sty
Package: Rd

in the Rd2.log file.  If you see that it finds Rd.sty outside of the 
current R version, delete the old file.
