The win.metafile one is long-standing but has only recently been checked:
it is now fixed (you were using a snapshot from the day the check was
reinstated).
The other problem is due to a change to .find.packages, which has
a new function .filePathAsAbsolute that changes / in paths to \\.
However, what R is passing to Tcl is a valid path, so looks like Tcl on
Windows is not accepting Windows paths, aargh.
