Hi Yihui, Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, it was a long vacation, but definitely not long enough :-).
Seriously, I have not changed my R, my tex engine etc. Nothing. And I was running the command just a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine. But now I need to specify this encoding option.... Still puzzled.
