It would also be OK for the result to be
(-if (TRUE) 1 else 0) * 10
It's possible that producing this form is more natural for the deparser.
There are a number of other bugs in the deparser, many of which I
fixed in the pqR deparser when doing a major rewrite, though I missed
the one you report above. You can see them at
http://www.pqr-project.org/NEWS.txt
Look for BUG FIXES under VERSION RELEASED 2015-09-14. Some are fixed
in R-3.4.0, but most remain.
