OK, now I feel sheepish.  I assumed from the screencast.com URL that
there was intended to be some video, for which the image displayed was
just the (first/last/etc.) frame.  Now I understand better.

There’s no convention in org tables that “\n” (i.e. two characters,
backslash + n) means newline (i.e. one character).

What R’s console shows you (either RStudio or vanilla R) is a “human
readable” representation of the data frame, which includes doing
things like changing the newline character into a \n escape sequence
(and other stuff, like padding the columns with spaces so they all
line up vertically).  But when Org communicates with R, it asks for a
machine-readable version, which doesn’t include such niceties.  When
that machine-readable version includes a newline character in a data
field (as your example table does), org doesn’t know what to do and
messes up.
