Copying Sigbert's message to Bugzilla is a good idea so it can be 
referred to from the NEWS entry.  If you want to submit a patch along 
with it, let me know and I'll take a look at it.

Good point. I've written a new description, though, because the are even 
more problems with the alpha vector handling than suggested by Sigbert.

The bug report is now at: https://bugs.R-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18476

There is both a patch and a test script in the attachments of the bug 
report.

Let me know if something needs further fixing.

Best wishes,
