[BioC] ArrayQualityMetrics: Problem with labels in plots

Hi BioC,

I was suffering with this problem so followed the conversation which led
to a conclusion last week. 
I have installed version 2.4.1 this morning.
I like to run the arrayQualityMetrics on both the raw and Normalised
data. 
The normalised data runs fine and I'm happy to report the labelling
issue has been resolved. 
However, something odd has occurred which I can't track.

> arrayQualityMetrics(rg, "QCReport_20mg", force=TRUE,do.logtransform =
TRUE,intgroup="Cy5", grouprep=TRUE)
The report will be written in directory 'QCReport_20mg'. 
Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : 
  length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent
> arrayQualityMetrics(ma, "QCReportMA_20mg", force=TRUE,do.logtransform
= FALSE,intgroup="Cy5", grouprep=TRUE)
The report will be written in directory 'QCReportMA_20mg'. 
[[1]]

[[2]]

[[3]]


The raw data now reports an error but the normalised data does not.


This code used to run fine so I'm not sure what has changed in the new
version to prevent it.

traceback shows

I think it may be related to my annotation of the files when assigning
targets which I do here

targets <- readTargets(file="Targets.txt", row.names="Filename")

Here is the file

Can anyone help resolve this?
