When I replace the .prj file of an arbitrary shapefile with these
contents, it gets read well. Have you tried with current R (3.2.4) and
rgdal (1.1.7)?

Thanks Edzer, upgrading rgdal to 1.1.8 works.  Consider this issue close.

For completeness, which OS was this, and how was GDAL installed - do you 
recall what GDAL version was reported when rgdal loaded?

If Windows CRAN binary, it is possible that the underlying GDAL version of 
the spatial reference code and EPSG databases changed - there were no 
relevant changes in rgdal itself, I think.
