The default method for prcomp does not have an na.action argument:
Usage:
prcomp(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'formula':
prcomp(formula, data = NULL, subset, na.action, ...)
## Default S3 method:
prcomp(x, retx = TRUE, center = TRUE, scale. = FALSE, tol = NULL, ...)
so this is as documented. In general only formula-based interfaces do
have subset and na.action.
