tests/Makefile.common has the following in the .R.Rout rule:

        @$(ECHO) $(ECHO_N) "running code in '$<' ...$(ECHO_C)" > $@.log
        @$(R) < $< > $@.fail 2>&1 || (cat $@.log && rm $@.log && exit 1)

Take a look at tests/reg-packages.Rout.fail, it should contain all output produced by tests/reg-packages.R when it ran.
