Don't use the .C convention:
R> library(inline)

R> code <- 'Rprintf("inside f(), b is 0X%x\\n", *b);'
R> f <- cfunction(sig=signature(b="raw"),
+ body=code,
+ convention=".C")
R> b <- as.raw(0x0f)
R> for (i in 1:5)
+ f(b)
inside f(), b is 0X90
inside f(), b is 0X80
inside f(), b is 0X70
inside f(), b is 0X60
inside f(), b is 0X30
R>
R> f2 <- cfunction(sig=signature(b="raw"), body='
+ Rprintf("inside f(), b is 0X%x\\n", AS_RAW(b));
+ return(R_NilValue);
+ ')
R> b <- as.raw(0x0f)
R> for (i in 1:5)
+ f2(b)
inside f(), b is 0X39bf9e8
inside f(), b is 0X39bf9e8
inside f(), b is 0X39bf9e8
inside f(), b is 0X39bf9e8
inside f(), b is 0X39bf9e8
