There is a mistake on the Weibull Distribution (base package) help
page in the online docs (http://docs.stat.ufl.edu/R/doc/html/). The
formula for Var(X) should have Gamma(1 + 1/a)^2 in place of Gamma(1 + 1/a).

That is a mistake at your own department's site, but not in the current R
sources. It seems those docs are from R 1.2.2! Even R 1.6.2 has the
correct formula.
Please ask whoever maintains that site to correct it, and don't expect the
R team to fix problems in 3.5 year old versions of R.
