R help - Aug 2006 - boxplot( ..args.., axes=FALSE, frame.plot=TRUE) doesn't frame the plot

I'm running R 2.3.1 on Windows.
 
When calling boxplot(), shouldn't the "axes" and
"frame.plot" arguments
get passed down to bxp()?
 
A specific example where the plot is not framed (but seems like it
should be):
 
X <- data.frame(x=as.factor(rep(c(1,2,3), 10)), y=rnorm(30))
boxplot(y~x, data=X, frame.plot=TRUE, axes=FALSE)
 
And this doesn't seem to affect the default at all:
 
boxplot(y~x, data=X, frame.plot=FALSE)
 
However, this does the trick:
 
y <- boxplot(y~x, data=X, plot=FALSE)
bxp(y, frame.plot=TRUE, axes=FALSE)
 
Any ideas?
