It makes it fairly obvious that you should not contact upstream -- because
there is no issue in the upstream code.

Exactly. It's most-likely a self-inflicted wound.  

FWIW I see that myself too when I do reverse depenency tests for Rcpp or
related packages. rstanarm is a complicated package. You could consider not
installing it for the autopkgtests for this package.
