Sounds like one of these possibilities:

  - in one case you have "smart quotes", i.e. directional quotes.  Those 
may not be supported by your pdflatex, or your viewer

  - (unlikely) something in the display is a special sequence that ESS 
in Emacs is reacting to badly.  I think this is unlikely, because the 
developer of str() uses ESS.

To change the type of quotes, set options(useFancyQuotes=FALSE) or one 
of the other options listed in ?options.
