[Rd] Puzzling behavior while testing

I'm testing a new release of survival, executing the following piece of code:
....
for (testpkg in survdep) {
z <- testInstalledPackage(testpkg, outDir="tests")
cat(testpkg, c("Ok", "Failed")[z+1], "\n", file="progress", append=T)
}
The vector survdep contains the names of all 156 packages listed as reverse depends on the
CRAN page for survival.
All works well except for the packages coin and compareGroups. If we make the survdep
list contain only those 2 then the last line above "cat..." fails with "testpkg not
found". Running ls() at that point shows a set of variables I didn't define, and no
evidence of any of "testpkg", "survdep", or anything else I'd defined. My prompt has been
changed to "R>" as well.
Any idea what is happening?
