In all probability this is FAQ 7.22.  I.e. use:

  print(ellipses(mean=mn, var=vr, r=r, steps=72, thinRatio=NULL,
        aspanel=FALSE,col='red', lwd=2))

   A rather strange situation here and I've not found the source of the
problem.

   The point is to print a ternary plot matrix of compositional data with
ellipses enclosing 95% of the variance in each plot. The ellipses
display on
the monitor, dev = x11cairo, but not when sent directly to a file, dev =
pdf.

   Here's winters.acomp:

structure(c(0.0666666666666667, 0.0612244897959184, 0.0434782608695652,

     NULL, c("filter", "gather", "graze", "predate", "shred")), class =
"acomp")

   And this is the command sequence:

library(compositions)
plot(winters.acomp, main="Winters Creek", cex=0.5)
r <- sqrt(qchisq(p=0.95, df=4))
mn <- mean(winters.acomp)
vr <- var(winters.acomp)
plot(winters.acomp, main="Winters Creek", cex=0.5)
ellipses(mean=mn, var=vr, r=r, steps=72, thinRatio=NULL, aspanel=FALSE,
     col='red', lwd=2)
# monitor plot window is manually closed.
pdf("winters-pdf.pdf")
plot(winters.acomp, main="Winters Creek", cex=0.5)
ellipses(mean=mn, var=vr, r=r, steps=72, thinRatio=NULL, aspanel=FALSE,
     col='red', lwd=2)
dev.off()

   What am I not seeing here that causes the different outputs?
