Biobase is not self-contained so I cannot easily test it, but as far as I know this is now resolved.

If I try to build a package with a vignette

 R CMD build Biobase

I see

* preparing 'Biobase':

* creating vignettes ... OK
* cleaning src
Error in setwd(pkgname) : cannot change working directory
Execution halted

This is because prepare_pkg invoked at tools/R/build.R:605 changes the
directory (e.g., from /tmp/RtmprGGHhU/Rbuild257d6d93 to
/tmp/RtmprGGHhU/Rbuild257d6d93/Biobase), in turn because the on.exit at
build.R:223 is usurped by on.exit at build.R:256/259.
