The logic is in src/library/tools/R/QC.R (.check_package_code_syntax).
If I read correctly, the underlying reason could be that you have
"Encoding: latin1" in DESCRIPTION.
For a workaround, you could play with the R_ENCODING_LOCALES environment
variable (documented in R-exts), but I suspect it is easier just to
install en_US.
Thanks, I installed en_US and the Warning went away.
