When I try your code I get this:

a=constrOptim(points,target3,NULL,ui=con1,ci=con2,control=list(fnscale=-1),
value=value,at=at)
Error: subscript out of bounds

6: f(theta, ...)
5: R(theta, theta.old, ...)
4: fn(par, ...)
3: function (par)
fn(par, ...)(c(1995, 2253.7, 2057))
2: optim(theta.old, fun, gradient, control = control, method = method,
...)
1: constrOptim(points, target3, NULL, ui = con1, ci = con2, control =
list(fnscale = -1),
value = value, at = at)
This says that the error occurs in your target3 function (which is
called f at this point).
So despite your guarantee, I think the bug is in your code, not in R.
