[Rd] Error: subscript out of bounds (PR#9305)

[Gabor Grothendieck]

See ?"[" and note in particular

"A third form of indexing is via a numeric matrix with the one column
for each dimension: each row of the index matrix then selects a single
element of the array, and the result is a vector."

Thus the result in this case should be a vector with element 1,3 as its first
component and element 2,4 as its second.  Of course since x is 2x2
neither of these exist.

Thus its behaving correctly.
