Just as an FYI, I suspect the sudden break is connected to a bug
report I filed some time ago [1], and a subsequent fix by Duncan. Long
story short, the previous behaviour of tcltk was actually buggy. The
fix changed this behaviour to what Peter has explained, with the
unintended consequence of
Thanks Peter and Dan for your replies.
After learning a bit more about tcltk and environments etc. I have replaced
Try(n - evalq(TclVarCount - TclVarCount + 1, .TkRoot$env))
with
Try(n - .TkRoot$env$TclVarCount - .TkRoot$env$TclVarCount +1L)
as you suggest.

environment: R_GlobalEnv
