Done. "It works." For fairly generous definitions of working. I'll detail:
i) My initial patch only used options() to set things. Martin was not to
enthralled with this and guided the patch towards using --group-writable
as an option.
ii) With --group-writable, installation works but updates fail as noticed by
Simon.
iii) If we fall back to using options() [ or an environment variable ],
things works. A log is below.
iv) I guess those of you who want the --group-writeable option need to ensure
it also works for update.packages() as new option?
I am happy with what we have right now as it works in the context established
by my patch. Martin's addition of --group-writable is a bit more ambitious
and we may need to enhance update.package(), or tell everybody to also (??)
use the option() setting, or environment variable.
Two things follow, a quick test script and a log from the script.

Script
#!/bin/bash
## we use digest as an example as it is pretty small
cd ~/svn/digest
ls -l digest_0.6.?.tar.gz
## we make two assumptions:
##
## a) R-devel (called via a shell script wrapper)
~/bin/R-devel.sh --version | head -1
##
## b) An option has been set
cat /usr/local/lib/R-devel/lib/R/etc/Rprofile.site
## now install an older version so that we can upgrade later
## this is running as 'edd' ie me
~/bin/R-devel.sh CMD INSTALL digest_0.6.2.tar.gz
ls -ld /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/digest/
ls -lR /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/digest/
## now try the upgrade as another user in the group
sudo su lmp -c '~edd/bin/R-devel.sh -e "update.packages(repos=\"http://cran.r-project.org\", ask=FALSE, lib.loc=\"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library\")"'
ls -ld /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/digest/
ls -lR /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/digest/
