I think this needs to be taken off the bug repository and continued here. By now it seems pretty clear that this is not an R bug, but a local problem on Spencer's machine, likely connected to font configurations.
I poked around a bit on the three Macs that I can access, and found that fc-match does different things, including throwing warnings, hanging and even crashing my old MB Air...
One possible reason is that it can apparently be installed in multiple locations, for reasons lost in the mists of time:

Notice that these are all different, no links. I guess that the ones you want are in /opt/X11, presumably installed by XQuartz.
So, going out on a limb, I have two ideas:
(A) Rebuild the font cache with
/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -vf
(B) Check that XQuartz is up to date (possibly reinstall it, even if it is)
