Indeed, a bug was introduced when removing some of the legacy fixes  
that were part of the tools:RGUI environment, thanks for the report.  
This should be now fixed in the SVN, so please try tomorrow's nightly  
build of the GUI.

A hot fix in the meantime is to paste this in the GUI:

local({e<-attach(NULL,name="tools:RGUI"); assign 
("quartz.save",function(file, type="png", device=dev.cur(), ...)  
invisible(.Call("QuartzSaveContents",device,file,type,list(...))),e)})

Cheers,
Simon
