I get the same in the preview, but it works for me. I do not use -q.

This might be due to temail, but you don't have tabs (\t) between your
entries below - could you verify if this is the case? If yes, this might
be a locale issue (would be strange)?

One solution would be to insert (instead of the tab character) "\t" to
separate the fields?

You could try and modify the ob-R-transfer-variable-table-with-header -
From the help:

,----
| ob-R-transfer-variable-table-with-header is a variable defined in `ob-R.el'.
| Its value is
| "%s <- local({\n     con <- textConnection(\n       %S\n     )\n     res <- utils::read.table(\n       con,\n       header    = %s,\n       row.names = %s,\n       sep       = \"\\t\",\n       as.is     = TRUE\n     )\n     close(con)\n     res\n   })"
| 
|   This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| R code used to transfer a table defined as a variable from org to R.
| 
| This function is used when the table contains a header.
`----

This is passed to the (format) function and one might be able to change
something there.
