Comment(by kcrisman):

 Okay, the problem is that instead of handling errors, we are ignoring
 them:
 {{{
         # don't abort on errors, just raise them!
         # necessary for non-interactive execution
         self.eval('options(error = expression(NULL))')
 }}}
 But see
 [http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/base/html/stop.html here]
 - it turns out that this is R's way of just totally ignoring them, not
 just 'raising' them.  This should be fixed.
