A package source would be good so I can do some testing. Or post what happens if you leave out inst/doc/big.Rnw (but keep inst/doc/big.pdf). I would assume (see below) that this keeps the pdf.
R-exts still mentions that Rnw's are only processed in either /vignettes or /inst/doc, not both (which is what you describe). It also says: "In addition to the help files in Rd format, R packages allow the inclusion of documents in arbitrary other formats. The standard location for these is subdirectory inst/doc of a source package, the contents will be copied to subdirectory docwhen the package is installed." So this looks undocumented behaviour, I would say. Probably due to the fact that you have both Rnw and pdf there, which - as I read the documentation - should be allowable.
