I certainly wouldn't draw that conclusion. Without a reproducible example, my assumption would be that it is unrelated to cat().

That is the only difference between the "reproducible" code you show and mine. 
It is just a theory but say that the components array is not dimmensioned for 4 elements. 
It seems a little strange if that is the case that a reference error is not thrown and 
just the output of the cat call is affected.

You are probably being punished for posting non-reproducible code*.

When I try a reproducible version of the line above, things look fine:

> cat("myforecast ETS(", paste("A","N","N",FALSE, sep = ","), ") ", 3, "\n")
myforecast ETS( A,N,N,FALSE )  3

* R has a new predictive punishment module. It punishes you for things it knows you will do later.
