I suspect there may be a bug in base::rbind.data.frame
Below there is minimal example of the problem:
m <- matrix (1:12, 3)
dfm <- data.frame (c = 1 : 3, m = I (m))
str (dfm)
m.names <- m
rownames (m.names) <- letters [1:3]
dfm.names <- data.frame (c = 1 : 3, m = I (m.names))
str (dfm.names)
rbind (m, m.names)
rbind (m.names, m)
rbind (dfm, dfm.names)
#not working
rbind (dfm.names, dfm)
Error in rbind(deparse.level, ...) : replacement has length zero
rbind (dfm, dfm.names)$m
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
<NA> 1 4 7 10
<NA> 2 5 8 11
<NA> 3 6 9 12
a 1 4 7 10
b 2 5 8 11
c 3 6 9 12

I'm not sure whether or not this is a bug, but I did isolate the line where the error is thrown: src/library/base/R/dataframe.R:1395. https://github.com/wch/r-source/blob/01374c3c367fa12f555fd354f735a6e16e5bd98e/src/library/base/R/dataframe.R#L1395 The error is thrown because the line attempts to set a subset of the rownames to NULL, which fails.

With thanks to Krzysztof Banas (and Joshua Ulrich), Almost 2.5 years ago, there's been a bug report that never made it to https://bugs.r-project.org/ and has been forgotten ... until I've stumbled over this again. I've found an easy fix (and improved readability also by adding comments) and committed the fix to R-devel rev 76612 , planned to be ported to R 3.6.0 patched a bit later. Thank you once more!
