For what it is worth: I also get this error when I try to "R CMD
check" any of my many packages on R Under development (unstable)
(2011-10-13 r57231) on Windows 7.  It does not occur with R version
2.14.0 alpha (2011-10-14 r57245).  I haven't had time to troubleshoot
this and I figured I'll wait a few revisions.

The error does not occur when using tools::checkRd(), e.g.

> setwd("R.methodsS3/man/");
> filenames <- list.files(pattern="[.]Rd$");
> dummy <- sapply(pathnames, FUN=tools::checkRd);
