I'm surprised that this doesn't seem to have been reported before, but
it was already present at least in R 2.6.1It has been, and fixed before! From the svn logs

MacOS tr does not cope with Latin-1 chars in a UTF-8 locale
Incidentally, couldn't the handling of line endings now be left to
svn:eol-style?Have you read the code concerned? It says
## some packages ship .Rout.save with CRLF endings
and we have no control over what line-endings third-party packages ship with.
