I think ... this might break SparkR build (https://github.com/apache/spark/actions/runs/9331838894) assuming from the timeline ..

Let me revert this first, and see if the build passes.

Okay, Let me investigate it.

@HyukjinKwon
It doesn't seem like the issue was caused by this upgrade,
It also encountered similar issues when the version is 4.3.3
https://github.com/panbingkun/spark/actions/runs/9576846198/job/26404013779
From the log stack, it seems that there is an exception in the character unescape
I suspect what character on Windows is causing it.

Let me continue to address its root cause.

I have reproduced this issue and let me see how to fix it correctly

I have verified windows R (4.3.3) on GA and it has passed. Now I will verify the 4.4.0 version again.
If there are no issues, I think we can bring this upgrade back.
