Martin,
I am aware of --vanilla; I use it myself for some testing. In this case R_LIBS_USER was set externally (part of my login) and does not involve any of the R scripts. That means it is inherited by any subprocess. For example:

tmt1495% R --vanilla --no-environ

R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"
Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

system("printenv | grep R_LIBS")
R_LIBS_SITE=
R_LIBS_USER=/people/biostat2/therneau/Rlib

So, per the manual R CMD check inherits the path.  The question is why does it 
ignore it?

The following sequence works:

tmt% R CMD INSTALL hmm*gz

But "R CMD check hmm.gz" fails with
    ERROR: dependency ‘expm’ is not available for package ‘hmm’

‘/people/biostat2/therneau/consult/alzheimer/hmm.Rcheck/hmm’

The R CMD build command fails similarly if I let it try to build the
vignettes.

What's up?

If you are setting the environment variable R_LIBS_USER in
R_HOME/site/Renviron.site or in .Renviron then this file will not be
read when you run R CMD check or R CMD build, as R is then run with --
vanilla which implies --no-environ.

You also need to set it in these files:

~/.R/build.Renviron
~/.R/check.Renviron

See R-exts section 1.3 and ?Startup.
