The bug described is occurring with all recent distributions available! I discovery today, after install R version 3.2.2 beta (2015-08-04 r68843), that the bug happens when I copy my packages from old distribution to the library folder (being careful not to overwrite the newer ones that comes with the distribution). I've been doing this for a long time. As are many, it would be labor-intensive (but not impossible) to find those responsible for the bug. If you decide that it is necessary I can go testing package by package.
