Hmm! It does work for me.  I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, running Emacs and Org from the development tree (so 30.0.50 and 9.7-pre).

I ran =emacs -Q= (and also =make repro= from in the Org source tree, which is another useful tool for testing), and executed these lines in a scratch buffer:

# -----
(org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '(
     (R . t)
     (shell . t)
     ))
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ess-20240229.2054") 
(require 'ess-r-mode)

We're the same up to ESS.  (I had to check the version number on ESS to get the path right, but that's the latest release installed.)  Looking back, did you not mention using ESS?  I've never used R in Emacs without it.  If you weren't using ESS, what happens if you install it and use it? 

Just for the sake of documentation: then I made an r.org file with the snippet and ran it, and it worked:

# ----
#+begin_src R :session test
  A <- 1
#+end_src
#----


Cheers,

Bill
