the number calculated by R.
Visual inspection indicates that only points on polygon boundaries
are affected.

This is because it isn't programmed to test for intersections :-p The tool checks for containment: It uses QgsGeometry.contains, rather than QgsGeometry.intersects. I suppose intersections would also be perfectly valid, but it is called 'points in polygon' :-p
I don't have a development environment set up at the moment, so can't fix/implement this right away - so will leave this ticket open. Any other developers want a quick fix? Just change line 143 in doPointsInPolygon from " if inGeom.contains(tmpGeom.asPoint()):" to " if inGeom.intersects(tmpGeom):".
