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.
Windows. I don't have the log with gdal version. Your assessment is probably correct. Thanks.
