Thanks, this has been already reported as bug 17358. Addressed in
R-devel 74238. R may still create a corrupt file, though, in other
circumstances (e.g. if it runs out of memory or is interrupted during
serialization, etc).

I ran into this behaviour when accidentally running a line of code that I
shouldn't have.
When saving over an rds with an object that's not found, I would have
expected saveRDS to not touch the file.
saveRDS(iris, "test.rds")
file.size("test.rds")
#> [1] 1080
saveRDS(no_object_here, "test.rds")
#> Error in saveRDS(no_object_here, "test.rds"): object 'no_object_here'
not found
file.size("test.rds")
#> [1] 20
file.remove("test.rds")
