So they don't have to change all their backstock of publications? If (TM) simply means "we claim this mark" and (R) means "we claim this mark, and it is certainly registered", then for purposes of saying "we claim this mark", you can use either, and for simplicity's sake just use (TM) after registration if it's conveying the information needed (specifically, "you probably want to check with the government registry before thinking of making a product with this mark"). (R), in this case would just mean "we're saving you the time in research .. don't bother using this".
IMHO
