We happen to be working on a new version of the windows tool chain,
perhaps you are interested to test if problems still exist in the
latest versions. Find a copy of gcc-4.9.2 as well as an installer with
the latest r-devel built with this compiler here:
http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~jeroen/mingw-w64/. Note that this R
installer contains a copy of the tool chain (hence requires no
seperate 'rtools' installation).

This particular behavior exists in all builds of mingw-w64, not rtools
per se. We might get a better answer in the mingw-w64-public mailing
list.
