If this is a bug, I can't understand why no one else has noticed; on the other hand, if this is a problem with my install or setup, I'm at a loss to understand what is wrong. Sample output below.

They did notice: it was corrected in R-patched months ago, and R 2.15.3 
is now out with the corrected version.

> Also, the R for Mac FAQ says, "Drag and drop of a directory on the R.app icon while R.app is not running will start R.app and set the working directory. By default .RData and the history file (default name .Rapp.history) are fetched from this working directory." However, my tests don't seem to confirm this – the workspace is loaded but not the history file. Am I doing something wrong?

There are changes in that area, so please try 2.15.3.
