Summary:
The locale setting in the operating system seems to be involved in what confused
me a little bit.
Thank you all for your help, especially the suggested work-around
data.frame(..., check.names=F) which works very well.

A mystery still to be solved is why two versions of R, running on the same
machine on the same time, behaves differently.
Please do not respond to this on the list. I very much welcome you not to
respond at all.

Sixten.
