No, this is exacly as documented:
'write.csv' and 'write.csv2' provide convenience wrappers for
writing CSV files. They set 'sep', 'dec' and 'qmethod', and
'col.names' to 'NA' if 'row.names = TRUE' and 'TRUE' otherwise.
.....
These wrappers are deliberately inflexible: they are designed to
ensure that the correct conventions are used to write a valid
file. Attempts to change 'col.names', 'sep', 'dec' or 'qmethod'
are ignored, with a warning.
(I forget whether the warning bit is new in 2.6.x, though)
