Are you implying that "R CMD check" has reverted to its pre-2.6.0
behaviour?  If I remember correctly, for R versions before 2.6.0  "R
CMD check" did not attempt to build the vignette, with version 2.6.0 it
started to do so.  The relvant NEWS entry is:

    o	R CMD check now (by default) attempts to latex the
    vignettes rather than just weave and tangle them: this will give a
    NOTE if there are latex errors.
