Did you try to reproduce my example, by chance?

Using this:
-----
#+begin_src R :session :results output graphics :file foo.png :exports
results :eval never-export
library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(x=c(1, 2), y=c(2, 4))
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_point()
print(p)
#+end_src

I get an empty #+RESULTS: header, but no inserted file link. The plot
is not in the exported PDF either.

If I make it this:
-----
#+begin_src R :session :results file graphics :file foo.png :exports
results :eval never-export
-----

I get the expected results, and the plot is in the output PDF.
-----
#+RESULTS:
[[file:foo.png]]

I usually use :session as well (and have it in my actual document, but
left it off for this test case). Still, using your header (minus
changing the file path/type) didn't work for me.

Thanks for taking a look,
