Yes, that helps (but I would have liked it better if it didn't print

While we are on the topic, another change in behaviour I find
irritating is the following: after I press C-l in the *R* buffer to
center my cursor, executing anything takes the cursor back to the last
line of the buffer.  This doesn't happen in an *eshell* buffer. Any
idea how to fix this?
