R seems to ignore the last line of .Rprofile?

It is very strange that R appears to ignore the last line of my .Rprofile.

For example, in .Rprofile

 ...
 test<-function()1 # without line ending

And thus test is never loaded although the rest is loaded successfully. If I load it manually, source(".Rprofile"), test loads fine.

Is it the desired behaviour?

Under R studio with R 3.0 + in Linux

Can any one reproduce this?

This is a super annoying "feature" - the last line is silently ignored if it does not have a trailing newline.
