Sorry I was unclear. I did build from R-patched tarball, from here:
ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-patched_2012-07-25.tar.gz
I get the same result whether I build that into an RPM or if I build
and install the "old fashioned" way (configure, make, make install).
The Sweave pdf is created, but not found inside R.
I just re-ran the compilation in an Emacs shell and you can see
everything that goes on:

As you will see, I run into problems with pdf creation in
make pdf
dealing with refman. I think that links back to the ancient tetex
toolkit and the lack of incolsolata font. If that is the reason R
can't find the vignette, I would be glad to know.
I do get the Sweave.pdf vignette created, just not indexed.
