I do not know whether it is intentional, but it seems that parts
of `check' were substantially re-written due to the new Rd parser.  As
far as I can understand the Perl code, the .tex file is only copied to
the .Rcheck directory if an error occurs while the file is processed.

But this can easily be changed by moving two lines in the script a bit
higher, see the attached patch.  

Cheers,
