No, actually the most recent upgrade to CRAN 
(version 1.0.51 ) which has Rgraphviz  passed all 
the tests yesterday and should be appearing soon. 
I tend to work on multiple improvements (and thus 
the jump in numbers) locally before uploading to 
CRAN.

Duncan is, of course, correct, that you need to 
have Rgraphviz on your machine for it pass the 
tests.
