The documentation states that "save.image() is just a short-cut for save(list = ls(all =

Browse[1]> ls(all=TRUE)

[4] "resubstituteParams" "trainParams"        "verbose"
Browse[1]> save.image("BROWSE.RData")

load("BROWSE.RData") shows different variables than ls() did. Explicitly typing

Browse[1]> save(list = ls(all = TRUE), file = ".RData")

causes the variables in the current environment to be saved.

Is the documentation of save.image() missing a special case?

You are missing the other arguments.  What it actually says is

    ‘save.image()’ is just a short-cut for ‘save my current
     workspace’,

and for that you need to specify envir=.GlobalEnv .
