When we run the pager, we always set "LESS=R" to tell the

How about adding a leading "-" to both the LESS and MORE settings?
Since you're in there patching... :)
The man page for more states:
"Options are also taken from the environment variable MORE (make sure
to precede them with a dash (``-'')) but command line options will
override them."
And while the less man page does not have that wording, it does show
this:
LESS="-options"; export LESS
and this:
LESS="-Dn9.1$-Ds4.1"
So it looks like both LESS and MORE prefer to have their options start
with a '-' more or less.
