Hi
The following code block returns a wrong table / list:
#+begin_src R :results value list
list(1:10, 1:5)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
- (1 1)
- (2 2)
- (3 3)
- (4 4)
- (5 5)
- (6 1)
- (7 2)
- (8 3)
- (9 4)
- (10 5)
The result is actually in R:
In particular in `org-babel-R-write-object-command' which uses
write.table() which uses as.data.frame() which dispatches to
as.data.frame.list() which calls data.frame() where the recycling occurs.

I have no idea if this is a bug or wrong result due to incompatible
types (R list and org table)?
If you can't coerce a non-atomic R object to a data.frame and get a
pleasing result, you need to craft your own solution.
Is this mentioned in the manual?
Not that I know of. A comment in `Results Types' in ob-doc-R -

- might be helpful.
