In R Aqua I get nearly as you do above:
> .libPaths()
 [1] "/Users/aorchid/Library/R/library"
 [2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library"

In ESS R I get only 
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library". My ~/.Renviron 
file has the following:

R_LIBS=/Users/aorchid/Library/R/library : 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library

Not sure why it isn't working.
