Thanks, Alyaa, for the report.

This is, indeed, a bug.  It has been fixed in the current release and
devel branches (versions 2.24.1 and 2.25.1, respectively) and should
be available in the next couple of days for installation.  Note that
you will need to update to the current R version to get these changes.
