I don't see any warning or error in your Rdlatex.log (below).

Could it be that the problem happens with the Travis "batch mode" checks,
not with regular  'R CMD check ..'  for your own installed
version of R and LaTeX ?

(I've seen .. but not investigated other cases where Travis
 would barf about things that were fine for me).

Thanks for the answers, Travis CI indeed uses an outdated system, but I
actually use my own recent TeXLive installation on it, exactly because of
this reason (and because I want to avoid sudo).

Obviously, there is something wrong with this installation, but I am
puzzled by not seeing any LaTeX errors, and R CMD check still reporting
one. Maybe not all of the LaTeX output is included in the check log. Or the
check incorrectly detects an error when there is none.

this is definitely at least on their roadmap:
https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/2046

there's also the prospect of docker support getting far enough along that
we can just bring our own container -- at which point dirk and carl's
rocker work makes life much easier. ;)
