This was a known problem which Kurt Hornik and I solved earlier today.

Short version: the (Debian testing Linux) machine which produces them 
was updated to texinfo 5.1, and that is not compatible with R 3.0.1. 
This lack of back-compatibility is really rather annoying, and if you 
meet it, you need to use 3.0.1-patched.
