Dear developers,

while preparing to submit a package to CRAN, I noticed that a check for 
lost braces in Rd files (which is enabled in the current r-devel when 
checking with the '--as-cran' option) seems to return false positives.

More specifically, a 'Lost braces' NOTE is issued (at least sometimes) 
when using the \insertRef{...}{...} command from the Rdpack package.

Since the corresponding changes in r-devel seem to be quite recent 
(apparently as of r85196), I hope this sketchy report is sufficient to 
track down the problem. If not, I will try to create a reproducible example.

Best regards and many thanks,
Martin
