Can you give a MWE? When I try a very minimal document with this entry, it looks fine.

I wonder if I have an old version of something?

It's probably best if you post a MWE an question about this to tex.stackexchange.com (without the R stuff) as I am fairly sure that this isnt a biblatex issue.

Somebody answered with a solution. It appears to be a biblatex bug.
