I think you could even link /usr/share/R/doc/html/Rlogo.svg
into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/rlogo_icon.svg to let GNOME
and others draw an arbitrarily high-resolution icon if the display
permits that, but a 48x48 bitmap is still required:

Yes, had the same idea earlier and tried it, with the original Rlogo.svg
copied in there under that name -- but I got an 'empty' icon displayed
:-/
(I had also removed the png "to be sure", your more careful suggests
it is
needed as a fallback.)

When I follow your suggestion to use both it works with new logo (yay) with
the only minor drawback ... that the white background shows whereas all other
logos are using transparent background.
