I have been puzzled recently by similar behavior, and I think
that current behavior is not satisfactory.
IIRC, I even got
--------------------------
creating vignettes ... OK
--------------------------
But from the 3 vignettes, the 2nd one gave an error (in R code),
and consequently only the pdf of the 1st vignette had been built --- all
completely silently until you "R CMD check" the built tar file
get the warning about missing pdf.
I only did not "complain" because people could have pointed out to
me that I could fix the problem myself .. :-\
