Indeed, the R version is 2.9.2. But the package was built on the very same system. Besides, another package built with the same version of R but on another machine does not show this nasty behavior. Upgrading, however, could pose more problems as it solves, since even if I could upgrade locally, it would be a mess to assure that all colleagues upgrade as well.
Anyways, even if the chm format is not supported any more by current versions of R, it should work with older ones, right? So, what can I do additionally to get to the bottom of this problem?

CHM help is R < 2.10.0. All versions thereafter do not support compiled html help anymore. Please upgrade your version of R and try one of the currently supported help formats.
