This is probably not a known bug, but given a recent dive into the R engine initialization this would not surprise me there is an issue. I got a case where the Interactive startup parameters looked ignored or overridden by R in some circumstances.
Are you working on Windows? the code is significantly different for Windows vs Unix, so just to know.
I'll look at adding unit tests covering the issue you report, but probably cannot do that for at least a week
