Although I have not done loads of shooting yet with it, I have been deliberately trying to make the 5DSR moire, but have yet to be successful. Initially with this camera, I surmised that perhaps we have reached such a point in high resolution that moire would sooner than later become a virtual non-issue (99% of the time) as high density sensors no longer struggle to resolve fine patterns without creating the nasty artifact.

If anyone shooting with a 5DSR has encountered it, please post an image here!

Also, I have been trying to refine a method of successfully shooting such a high resolution sensor while maximizing results. Granted, this IS a studio machine that obviously (to me) prefers to be completely stabilized on a tripod and even perhaps a remote shutter release cable. But I'm finding 5x your focal length can get you really very good results.

I'd love to hear from other 5DS and 5DSR owners on their experiences with actual shooting! Please chime in!!

You will only see moire or color artifacts when shooting at a wide enough aperture that the airy disk from diffraction is smaller than the pixel size. In this case somewhere around f/5.6 or below. Unfortunately I cannot speak directly for the 5DS R but I have seen numerous problems in sample images posted around the web.

and in studio here:

I have been testing out a 5DS though and have found examples of moire in the shots.
