I had the same problem recently. It was apparently a windows-only oldrel-only problem (and a specific oldrel, I can't remember which one). I opted to adjust the DESCRIPTION to depend on a higher R version. Main reason was that I don't have access to the right type of Windows version to test it locally and the winbuilder service only tests on the most recent R-versions (current and R-devel).
These system-dependent problems pop up now and then, causing work on both CRAN volunteer and developer side. Especially the work on the volunteer side could/should be avoided. So here's a nudge-nudge wink-wink to the R consortium to set up a builder service that fully emulates CRAN. It is probably not trivial but I feel it would be of value. More ambitiously, such a builder service could include (attempts to) build against other R engines apart from the GNU implementation -- but I'm digressing.
