R-devel: Error in grid.Call.graphics(C_setviewport, vp, TRUE) : VECTOR_ELT() can only be applied to a 'list', not a 'double'

[HenrikBengtsson]

Disclaimer: This might be related to recent R-devel updates, e.g. r76285, or not. It looks related to the 'grid' package but could be ggplot2 specific too - I don't have time to troubleshoot this further. I could not reproduce it running a few of grid's examples but I only tried so many. I discovered it downstream from ggplot2 and reporting upstream as far as I could track down a reproducible example. By posting it here, I hope to cut the corners for some people who are soon to discover the same problem.

Argh... forgot to look at Closed Issues. Already answered/addresses in Issue #3215. Sorry for the noise.
