Yes, this is a bug in 1.0.0 which has been reported
and has been fixed for the patch release "R-release" quite a while ago
(The "R-release" daily snapshot is available from CRAN
and will become 1.0.1 some time).
Opinions may differ here, but IMHO, this is the worst bug
(that we know of ...) in R 1.0.0.
Anyway, the workaround is simple (but ugly):
Instead of
plot(.... , xaxt = "n")
use
op <- par(xaxt = "n")
plot(....)
par(op)
{{and of course the same applies to yaxt}}.
