    MM> ## lines() *does* work with xpd arg:
    MM> lines(4:5,c(1,40), col = 2, xpd = FALSE)# clip to plot
    MM> lines(5:6,c(1,40), col = 3, xpd = TRUE)# clip to figure
    MM> lines(6:7,c(1,20), col = 4, xpd = NA)# clip to device 
    MM> text(4:6, 10.5, "xpd =", xpd = TRUE, col = 2:4)
    MM> text(4:6, 10, c("FALSE","TRUE","NA"),
col = 2:4, adj = 0)

Also, 
      rect() 
fails similarly.
This gives funny legend()s :

 plot(1:10)
 legend(1,7.5,  c("1st", "2nd", "third"), col =
1:3, lwd = 1:3, pch = 1:3)
 op <- par(xpd = NA)
 legend(1,11.5, c("1st", "2nd", "third"), col =
1:3, lwd = 1:3, pch = 1:3)
 ## pch = 1 also doesn't ?!?? ?? why??  It does here :
 points(2+ 1:8, rep(11, 8), pch = 1:8, col = "purple")
 ## and other pch's do here
 legend(4,11.9, c("1st", "2nd", "third"), col =
1:3, lwd = 1:3, pch = 6:4)
 par(op)

## Note that there seems another peculiar clipping bug 
##       with pch = 1 in legend
