I wouldn't try this with the internal packages. Works fine with e.g.
boot.

Even for ctest, I get (OK, that r-patches is from Saturday)

$ ~/R-devel/r-patched/BUILD/bin/R CMD check ctest
* checking for working latex ... OK
* using log directory
`/home/pd/R-devel/r-patched/R/src/library/ctest.Rcheck'
* looks like `ctest' is a base package
* skipping installation test
* checking package directory ... OK
* checking for sufficient/correct file permissions ... OK
