Interesting Jack, thanks. Maybe you should put yours in easybuild.experimental?
It seems like the underlying problem is that zlib is not included as a dependency of R (but is a dependency of libpng), thus the png tests fail due to missing symbols. Not sure if this is a EB bug or a package bug. It seems like something you would hope EB would deal with overall, but maybe there is something just a bit weird about this case and why the linker can't find the right version of zlib...
