On MS Windows 10, the following works:

Rscript --vanilla -e "\"abc\""
[1] "abc"

and also:

Rterm --vanilla --no-echo -e "\"abc.txt\""
[1] "abc.txt"

whereas attempting the same with 'R' fails;

R --vanilla --no-echo -e "\"abc.txt\""
Error: object 'abc' not found
Execution halted

I get this with R 4.1.2 and R Under development (unstable) (2021-12-14
r81376 ucrt).

Is this a bug?

Yes, R.exe does not properly handle quotes (and backslashes preceding a quote, and trailing backslashes). This is the same as PR#18139 for shQuote(). I will put that on my list
