This is how I understand it.  Because an R data.frame looks like a
table, the babel default is to represent it as a table in the results.
However, Babel interprets the single-cell table as a scalar.

#+begin_src R :results value
ret <- data.frame("scalar")
#+end_src

#+results:
: scalar

#+begin_src R :results value table
ret <- data.frame("table")
#+end_src

#+results:
| table |

hth,
Tom
