I checked it with version 8.2, which was, as far as I remember, before
my change of the R code to include the error handling, and the pdf(...)
... dev.off() was in the tangled file as well - so the behaviour must
have been introduced earlier. The only change I did was to change the R
code, so no change in the behavior if it is tangled or not.
I will look at it again on Monday to go back through the released
versions to narrow down where this had changed.

I don't think that this actually changes much - only that the enclosing
code will become pdf(...) THE CODE dev.off()
