Just to end up the thread, here is the solution, thanks to Duncan Murdoch:

"It was an embarassing bug in the C code that did tab expansion:  it 
could only handle lines with 200 chars in them, and yours had about 270, 
so the last part was lost.

It will soon be fixed in R-patched, to become 2.10.1 in due course.
