Put together an org-table.el patch and submitted to the list, so we'll see. For some reason the patch still doesn't fix the aberrant R behavior.

Perhaps we should remove or protect characters like {\n,\r,\f,\v} when they occur in table cells.

Is this something that should be implemented in `orgtbl-to-orgtbl'? Maybe this is worth a post to the mailing list…

(orgtbl-to-orgtbl '(("first" "line") ("second" "line
with
newlines")) '())

  '((1 2 3 4) ("eric
michael
schulte"))

  [["one", "two", "three
four"]]

data.frame(numbers=1:10, strings=c(letters[1:9], "an entry with a
newline character"))
