R Mac GUI no longer setting working directory?

Dear list, Opening the Mac GUI by double-clicking a ".R" file used to automatically set the working directory to the location of that file. This seems to have changed sometime recently (I'm on 2.15.2), with the working directory now always remaining at ~. Is this behavior intentional? A bug?
If anything changed, it was in the defaults for the GUI. To change to what I think remains the default, at least in my installation of R 2.15.2 and R.app GUI 1.53 (6335), in the GUI go to R/Preferences/Startup and make sure the "Always apply" checkbox remains unchecked.
