FWIW, I see that stringdist also doesn't pass R CMD check on r-release and r-devel on Windows while Linux or r-oldrel on Windows gives no problems[1].
A quick scan of the release notes on Windows specific changes doesn't give me a clue yet. I see the following possibly significant warning in the output on Windows: Warning: stack imbalance in '{', 39 then 40 I don't have a Windows PC handy where I can quickly reproduce this so if anyone has solved similar problems it would be nice if they could be posted here.
