Very strange, maybe when Stromboli calms down?

Yes, of course. Just run them side-by-side, with GRASS using r.in.gdal and 
v.in.ogr to read files written from R by writeGDAL() and writeOGR() in 
rgdal, and r.out.* and v.out.ogr wrt. readOGR() and readGDAL() in rgdal in 
R. This is almost what the interface does anyway, but because the new 
stand-alone r.out.gdal is in 6.3, you may need to choose your prefered 6.2 
raster output format avoiding the older scripted r.out.gdal if you are not 
running the GDAL GRASS plugin (best not to, IMO). All the interface gives 
over and above this is handling the intermediate files as temporary files, 
and adding GRASS categories as factor levels to R factors.

How did you install R, I assume you built from source? Did you notice any 
worrying messages?
