R devel - Jul 2011 - Problem with creating default NAMESPACE on FreeBSD

After building and installing R-devel from 21/07/2011 on FreeBSD 
9.0-CURRENT (amd64), starting R gives the following warning:

[..snip..]
Beim Start - Warnmeldung:
package 'datasets' in options("defaultPackages") was not found

This happens with all versions after 14/07/2011. I think it is related to

CHANGES IN R-devel PACKAGE INSTALLATION
Packages without explicit ?NAMESPACE? files will have a default one 
created at build or INSTALL time, so all packages will have namespaces. 
A consequence of this is that ?.First.lib? functions need to be renamed, 
usually as ?.onLoad? but sometimes as ?.onAttach?.


Package 'datasets' seems to be installed correctly under 
/usr/local/lib/R/library/:

ls -l datasets/
total 18

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  -  512 22 Jul 08:12:04 2011 html


Calling options("defaultPackages") shows all relevant packages:

$defaultPackages
[1] "datasets"  "utils"     "grDevices"
"graphics"  "stats"     "methods"


But trying to load library 'datasets' fails with the following message:

library(datasets)
Fehler in library(datasets) :
   package 'datasets' does not have a NAMESPACE and should be
re-installed


Googling around for some days now it looks like this does not happen to 
anyone else (at least there are no infos). Does anybody knows what is 
going on here?

Any help would be appreciated,
Rainer Hurling



sessionInfo()
R Under development (unstable) (2011-07-21 r56467)
Platform: amd64-portbld-freebsd9.0 (64-bit)

locale:
[1] 
de_DE.ISO8859-15/de_DE.ISO8859-15/de_DE.ISO8859-15/C/de_DE.ISO8859-15/de_DE.ISO8859-15

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     methods   base

It does not seem to happen to anyone else, including me on FreeBSD. 
Is this a completely clean install?  src/library/datasets/Makefile 
definitely installs a NAMESPACE file as part of the mkR1 target, so I 
would check that you have a src/library/datasets/NAMESPACE file in 
your sources.

(There was a short window on the 16th when it happened as a commit for 
src/library/datasets/NAMESPACE was missed at first.)
