     Ivan, can you give more detail on this? I've heard this issue
mentioned, but when I open RStudio and run find("install.packages") it
returns "utils::install.packages", and running dump() from within
RStudio console and from an external "R --vanilla" gives identical results.

     I thought at one point this might only refer to the GUI
package-installation interface, but you seem to be saying it's the
install.packages() function as well.

     Running an up-to-date RStudio on Linux, FWIW -- maybe weirdness only
happens on other OSs?
On MacOS, I see this:

  > install.packages
function (...)
.rs.callAs(name, hook, original, ...)
<environment: 0x7fa7c72a6268>

I get the same results as you from find().  I'm not sure what RStudio is
doing to give a different value for the function than what find() sees.
Turns out that RStudio replaces the install.packages object in the utils 
package.

Using RStudio? It happens to override install.packages with a function
that doesn't quite handle file paths. Try utils::install.packages(tar,
type = "source", repos = NULL).
