The issue is discussed in a bit more detail on R-devel (subject "[Rd] 
Unexpected I(NULL) output") and 
<https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17198>.

Overall it seems like a good idea:  some code (perhaps in ggplot2, I 
haven't tried to track it down) appears to be trying to set attributes 
on NULL.  This will silently fail in versions of R prior to R-devel rev 
71841, and will fail with a warning in that version or later.  (Since 
the change to R-devel is very recent, it may change again.)
