The flag instructs R not to build new 'recommended packages'; however the tests you run later need them. This release has a binary change so you actually need to rebuild dependent packages -- in other words I think you can expect (some of) these tests to fail until these recommended packages are rebuilt. >From the doc/NEWS file, lines 395 and on: * The object header layout has been changed to support merging the ALTREP branch.
