The problem here is when `org-babel-balanced-split' parses the following
string.
":results output :prologue \"local({\" :epilogue \"})\" :session"
It isn't smart enough to *not* balance the ({}) parens because of the
enclosing quotes. Unfortunately I don't have time to address this right
now. A hacky work around would be the following...
#+headers: :epilogue "})"
#+headers: :prologue "local({"
#+begin_src R :results output :session
cat("Test")
#+end_src
