Dear Ivan
I was bitten by this recently but fortunately Rolf had beaten me to
writing a question. The one thing which really surprised me is that the
current message tells me how much space it would have saved if it had
compressed the files in which case my immediate response was "Well, why
didn't you compress them then?".
Thank you for your help on this.

I *really* think that the instructions from CRAN could have been
clearer! Without your guidance I'd have been at a total loss.
Since the CRAN e-mails quote the R CMD check messages verbatim, would
it have been enough if R CMD check suggested using --compact-vignettes?

Or is there anything else you would prefer to be reworded? Should the
message link to Writing R Extensions, section 1.4? Recently there was a
project to improve the R CMD check messages [*], but I managed to miss
almost all of it.
