I was trying, on a Linux system, to get a .Rbuildignore file to work.

Are you sure? Whenever I open M$ files in Emacs under Debian I see
'(DOS)' near the left end of the modeline, which indicates that it has
^C as EOL. This has been the case since at least 21.0.
^M^J, I think you mean (CRLF).
Emacs is not totally consistent about how it does this: since it tries to
guess the file encoding it will usually indicate (DOS) on the mode line,
but not always (and it sometimes displays the ^M's, even on Windows).
But to the point: how often do people get DOS-style files on a Unix-alike?
You have to work pretty hard to do this, and there comes a point at which
complicating R to workaround wrongly encoded files is not worth the
trouble. Let's see if anyone else reports having done this.
