Doh, I found the issue:

in /etc/Rprofile.site you first save options in variable ow, turn off error messages and then check for Revolution-R stuff. Later you restore the old options by reapplying the "ow" options again. However "ow" only contains the "warn" option but you also modify "show.error.messages"

ow <- options("warn")
options("warn"=-1,show.error.messages=FALSE)
[...]
options(ow)

I solved the issue by also saving option "show.error.message", that is by applying:

-ow <- options("warn")
+ow <- options("warn","show.error.message")

to /etc/Rprofile.site
