R 1.7.1 on Windows XP
The "normal Q-Q plot" produced by plot.lm() mislabels points
when the model is fitted using na.action=na.exclude. Example:
x <- 1:50
y <- x + rnorm(50)
y[c(5,10,15)] <- NA # insert some NA's
y[40] <- 50 # add an outlier
plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.omit)) # outlier correctly labeled in all
# four plots
plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.exclude)) # labels attached to wrong points
# in the QQ plot (only)
