With the version you cite (7.3.svn-r69883), I see the resolution:

> .libPaths()
[1] "C:/Users/rsb/Documents/R/win-library/3.3"
[2] "c:/Program Files/R/R-3.3.2/library"
> library(rgrass7)
Loading required package: sp
Loading required package: XML
GRASS GIS interface loaded with GRASS version: GRASS 7.3.svn (2016)
and location: nc_basic_spm_grass7

With the fix, R for Windows picks up the default personal library 
location. This is both with Rgui started in the GRASS Layer Manager 
console, and in the Windows GRASS terminal.

Thanks very much!
