You have this in the current release, which does not show this problem
in the CRAN tests. This, and the fact that you can build the vignette
manually, suggests that there is a problem with your checking
environment.

Did you set up a special checking environment in ~/.R/check.Renviron ?
Does it set R_LIBS?
