r-devel R cmd check builds failing due to bytes encoding

[willgearty]

Starting today, I'm now consistently getting failed R cmd check builds with r-devel. The entire check completes properly, but then the error reporting at the end fails. The builds only fail on r-devel, so I believe it's related to a change made today on r-devel.

Status: OK
Error in dir(path, pattern = "^tests") : 
  translating strings with "bytes" encoding is not allowed
Calls: <Anonymous> ... get_test_fail -> get_test_output -> file.path -> dir
Execution halted
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Thanks! AFAICT that change was reverted, so everything should be fine tomorrow-ish: https://github.com/wch/r-source/commit/ef0a4a211f92640e71e87cbe7b66323f2c239e4d

Probably related and causing the actual error: https://github.com/r-lib/rcmdcheck/issues/183

(Not sure if the actual error is in rcmdcheck, though.)

I believe that this should not happen any more.
