I think the issue is likely that you seem to be using a relative path to
the R_MAKEVARS_USER file, it needs to be an absolute path as the
installation is run in a temporary directory not from the directory you
call `R CMD INSTALL` from.
I observed similar behavior to what you describe when I had the
MAKEVARS_USER file as a relative path, but using an absolute path produced
the expected result.
