I'm seeing the same issue with ISwR. It looks like a generic LaTeX issue where
we need to wait with the makeindex step until the TOC is in place. An easy fix
would be to hand-edit the Rd2dvi script to make an extra pass. E.g. replace
if test "${out_ext}" = pdf; then
${R_PDFLATEXCMD} ${R_TEXOPTS} Rd2 || status=1
with
if test "${out_ext}" = pdf; then
${R_PDFLATEXCMD} ${R_TEXOPTS} Rd2 &&
${R_PDFLATEXCMD} ${R_TEXOPTS} Rd2 || status=1
and similarly for the non-pdf case, if you care.
