If the memory size is too small for the saved workspace to be loaded, and
--save is specified in a batch file then the previous workspace is lost.
It seems to me that having insufficient memory to load the saved workspace
should be a fatal error at least if --save is specified.
What do other people think (preferably people that think saved workspaces
are potentially useful)?
Currently a work-around is to add this to the batch file
if (!exists(".Random.seed")) q("no")

I agree, and I sent a message to R-bugs to this effect (currently filed under "startup"), although I was thinking in terms of interactive use. Making this a fatal error seems the best choice to me.
