It works fine for me.  Could you try changing b.R to contain a comment, e.g.

x <- # a comment
      1L

and let us know what you see in the two cases?  I'm guessing you won't 
see the comment being echoed when you source a.R because for some reason 
your system is deparsing instead of going back to the source to read it, 
but I don't know what'll happen with b.R.
