This is fixed in 2.0.1 beta that is currently available for testing. It was a bug in pmin that went undetected until things were tightened up. [More precisely, pmin used an undefined construction, NA subscripts on the LHS of an assignment, that was not implemented consistently.]
Interestingly it came up on Monday, but in none of the testing of 2.0.0 nor for the first 4 weeks it was out.
