The Fisher exact test problem also comes out wrong in S+ 3.3 for Windows,
so EVEN I have to admit (although I hated 4.0 so much I reverted) that it
is not a Version 4 problem.

 fisher.test(rbind(c(1, 1), c(91, 98)))

         Fisher's exact test 

data:  rbind(c(1, 1), c(91, 98)) 
p-value = 1.0001 
alternative hypothesis: two.sided
