The standard explanation for this is that the GUI is unresponsive
until all selected packages have been downloaded and installed - this
may take quite a while. The fact that it works for you one package at
a time corroborates this.

Just moved to 2.8 ((downloaded 2.nov, thank you for work on this
Simon and others!), and when downloading libraries with the "install
dependencies" option in the gui (cmd-option-I), R hangs (spinning
wheel of death) and does not come back.
Seems that grabbing packages one at a time works.
I can send you a sample trace if you wish
