Maybe if you put a zero-width space before the fake version, instead of
a regular space? That's \u200B in Unicode; there are various other
encodings of it. Put it after the # so that it isn't a syntax error, i.e.
#\u200Bline 1 "file1.R"
or if that shows the escape, print that string and copy the actual
character into your document.
