Are you really entering an asterisk as part of the file name? That sounds like an extremely bad idea.

I?m creating a new file. The menu item is ?New Document?. I called it
*.R to distinguish it from ?New Rd Document?, and since when you
attempt to save it the suggested name is ?untitled.R?.
I don?t see anything in the console. When I click an existing folder
in the dialog, there is a brief delay and then the pinwheel, then it?s
stuck.

Could you clarify this: Are you opening an existing file that is
empty, or creating a new document? I don't see any way to specify *.R
in the former, and I don't see a problem with the latter. A bit more
below...
3. Add something to the file.
4. Save the file via menu or shortcut (technically a Save as?). In
a. If you save in whatever directory is pointing to, everything
b. If you attempt to change the directory, for instance by
clicking on the icon for a folder w/i the current directory, one gets
the pinwheel of death and R must be forced to quit.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

sessionInfo:
R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
I'm using the same R, but macOS High Sierra 10.13.6.
At some point in the exercise I saw this warning in the console:
objc[27995]: Class FIFinderSyncExtensionHost is implemented in both
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FinderKit.framework/Versions/A/FinderKit
(0x7fffadb52cd0) and
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FileProvider.framework/OverrideBundles/FinderSyncCollaborationFileProviderOverride.bundle/Contents/MacOS/FinderSyncCollaborationFileProviderOverride
(0x112670cd8). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
It might be that in the newer MacOS this is fatal.
