As of R 2.10.0, the plain text is generated by the tools::Rd2txt function

It looks as though ESS is the problem here, but I don't really know what it
is doing that could cause the symptoms you saw.
I notice that there are windows-style newlines, even though I compiled
HEAD from scratch in Cygwin; and running `R CMD Rd2txt <file.Rd>'
produces the same defective output, so I'm not sure it's an ESS
problem.
We don't support Cygwin builds; that could be part of your problem. The
only supported builds on Windows are using MinGW.

My hypothesis was that Rd2txt is invoking some defective system
command; but it appears to do all of its parsing and output itself.
