I sent the message below to r-sig-mac yesterday, but having no reply
I decided to explore a bit myself and found that editing:

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/share/make/ 
shlib.mk

yzzy: diff shlib.mk shlib.mk~
3c3
< include $(R_HOME)/etc/Makeconf
---
 > include $(R_HOME)/etc${R_ARCH}/Makeconf

restored the functionality of R CMD INSTALL.

Is this a known issue?

No, and the change will break things which currently work correctly.

Looks like this is something specific to how Macs install under the 
bin/exec directory.  It likely stems from the following line in INSTALL.

      archs=`(cd ${R_HOME}/bin/exec; ls)`

which on other systems will only contain directories for sub-architectures 
or the R or Rgnome executables, since it says
