Hmm,  that would look like a bug in your version of R-devel.
In my version of "R-devel" (and R 3.2.1, and "R 3.2.1 patched"), 
I get

  > rm(e); e <- new.env(); data(votes.repub, envir=e); ls(e); dim(e$votes.repub)
  [1] "votes.repub"
  [1] 50 31

What is your R.version.string very you see the problem?
What's 
       sessionInfo() ?
