[Rd] odd behavior of names

[William Dunlap]

Bugzilla issue 16101 describes another first-list-name-printed-differently
oddity
with the Windows GUI version of R:

> a <- "One is \u043E\u0434\u0438\u043D\nTwo is \u0434\u0432\u0430\n"
> Encoding(a) # expect "UTF-8"
[1] "UTF-8"
> sapply(strsplit(a, "\n")[[1]], charToRaw)[c(1,1,2)]
$`One is один`
 [1] 4f 6e 65 20 69 73 20 d0 be d0 b4 d0
[13] b8 d0 bd

$`One is <U+043E><U+0434><U+0438><U+043D>`
 [1] 4f 6e 65 20 69 73 20 d0 be d0 b4 d0
[13] b8 d0 bd

$`Two is <U+0434><U+0432><U+0430>`
 [1] 54 77 6f 20 69 73 20 d0 b4 d0 b2 d0
[13] b0

> names(.Last.value)
[1] "One is один" "One is один"
[3] "Two is два"
