Do I understand correctly that we don't want Rd files to be valid latex ?

Yes, it needs to be valid Rd format, which is "a simple markup language much of which closely resembles (La)TeX". For more details see section 2.1 of Writing R Extensions, which includes links to even more detail.

This seems odd to me.
I see that `tools::parse_Rd()` doesn't like `\verb!foo!` so maybe roxygen2
is actually doing the right thing (as opposed to just trying to) ?

`parse_Rd() ` is probably what I need indeed, for some reason I hadn't
found it, so that should fix my own issue here thanks a lot.

On a closer look it seems like roxygen2 introduces those, when using
markdown backtick quoting, if the quoted content is not syntactic. For
instance:

#' `c(c(1)`
#' `c(c(1))`

Will convert the first line to `\verb{c(c(1)}` and the second to
`\code{c(c(1))}`.

roxygen2 tries to do the right thing here. As defined in "Parsing Rd
files" [*], \code{} blocks are supposed to contain syntactically valid
R code. When something that is not valid R is given in a Markdown code
block, roxygen2 should not output \code{}, so it outputs \verb{}.

Also, unlike in LaTeX as understood by tools::parseLatex(), \verb{}
blocks use the {} braces in R documentation, and are understood
correctly by tools::parse_Rd(). Perhaps you also need tools::parse_Rd()?
