Do you have an explicit \usepackage{Sweave} in your file? If not, Sweave will add one, and that might explain the difference between your two tests.
Another possibility is that you have a copy of Sweave.sty that is not the same as the one being used in one run or the other. The checks will try to tell pdflatex to use the one that comes with your R version, but other local ones can sometimes have higher precedence in pdflatex.
And one idea what the problem might be: Sweave.sty uses the graphicx package, and it may conflict with the graphics package.
