A review:

The C++ math header undefines isnan, so if isnan is a macro, ISNAN() will not work in C++ code.

C99 specifies that isnan is a macro, but in C90 compilers, where it is an extension, isnan is often a function (explaining why the issue didn't come up earlier). For example, isnan is a macro on my Mac laptop but a function on my Linux desktop.

R-devel now defines ISNAN to call a function if used in C++ code. It still calls isnan in C code.
