Mark, We're having a rather serious breakage in R when the zlib1g from unstable is installed. R transparently wraps its file operations around open()/gzopen() and now no longer works on uncompressed files -- see the logs of this bug report for examples from read.dcf(), an internal R function critical to its use of its packages and pretty close to how we deal with debian/control.
Is there anything upstream or in your packaging that you could suspect? I haven't talk to R upstream yet some of whom are usually pretty current so I'd expect them to use a current libz as well.
