How can I knit a .Rnw-file into latex, with plots as tikzpicture environments? (error: formal argume

I'm trying to convert a .Rnw document to latex (to be included in another .tex-document). All plots are generated using the tikz device, but each of them as a standalone document. My goal is to have them in tikzpicture environments.

Solution attempt

According to the knitr documentation on plots, it should be possible to pass standAlone=FALSE via the dev.args-list. This produces the error message formal argument "standAlone" matched by multiple actual arguments. Knitr issue #514 describes the same error message, but their solution doesn't work here.

To reproduce, run knitr::knit("mwe.Rnw") on the following file:

\section*{MWE}
<<echo=FALSE,dev="tikz",dev.args=list(standAlone=FALSE)>>=
plot(x=1:10)
@

Error message:

Quitting from lines 3-4 (mwe.Rnw) 
Error in tikzDevice::tikz(..., packages = c("\n\\nonstopmode\n", packages,  : 
  formal argument "standAlone" matched by multiple actual arguments

According to tikzDevice documentation, standAlone=FALSE should be the default anyway, no idea why this doesn't apply here.

Any help is greatly appreciated. A seemingly related, but less specific, question has been posted but without answer.
