[Rd] names(unlist(...)) may construct corrupt strings (PR#1524)

[oehl_list@gmx.de]

names(unlist(...)) seems to be able to construct corrupt strings
detected via: two identical strings behave different in paste
observed in RW1.4.1 and RW1.5.0
pure replication code after output

l <- names(unlist(list(aa = list(bb = 1))))
l
# this is exactly "aa.bb"
identical(l, "aa.bb")

# BUT 
identical(paste("aa.bb", "this should be added"), paste(l, "this should be
added"))

# this of course works
paste("aa.bb", "this should be added")

# BUT THIS FAILS
paste(l, "this should be added")
