I believe that your report is just a much more compact example
of the same
bug reported on March 26, by Adelchi Azzalini, report no.150.

By the way:  The [Graphics] section at  http://R-bugs.biostat.ku.dk/
	     has quite a few bugs, some of which should really be addressed
	     rather sooner than later....

I don't think the R-core team has any commitments on working on these,
but I think we should...
