I just installed R on a Mac without any traces of earlier versions.
It exhibited a well know problem:
Not 'well known' (sic) at all: most of us do not break our OS X. We
don't have reproduction instructions (see the posting guide), but I bet
this is from R.app and not R (see below). R.app is a separate project
with separate maintainers.
WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII

Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and
adjust your system preferences accordingly.
The information needed is in section 7, not in section 9.
You should probably post this to r-devel, where it is slightly
more likely that an R-core member will see it and fix the docs.
(Small fixes like this are apparently preferred on R-devel to
in the R bug tracker .)
But actually R-sig-mac for issues with R.app: see the posting guide. (I
don't think it is the docs which need fixing, but R.app itself. And that
string is translated, so the translations need changing too.)
