Fortunately, this has been a transitional bug in R-devel, and is
unrelated to the Windows / non-Windows differences:

It's been caused by fixing R bugzilla PR#18331  w/ NEWS entry

    * library() now passes its lib.loc argument when requiring Depends
      packages; reported (with fix) in PR#18331 by Mikael Jagan.

and the orginal change (svn rev 82284) inadvertantly "killed"
correct working of install.packages()  in some not too
unfrequent cases.

I've looked for you at

https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-windows-x86_64/BRISC-00check.txt
and see that indeed the BRISC installation had happened with
R-devel svn r88285 which contains this bug.

This newly introduced bug (yesterday) has now been fixed, 28h
later (with svn r88287).
It's been my fault  (and fix).

Martin
