There are no `matrixes containing lists'. There are lists which are also matrices, but their contents are the vector elements (unless you meant that it was a list of lists, which seems not be the case in your example). In the absence of a reproducible example, it is not clear to me exactly what you want to do.
Here is a list matrix example: A <- matrix(as.list(1:4), 2, 2) cbind(A, A) It appears to be intentional (line 950 of bind.c and the actual cbind code), in which case this is a documentation bug and I have altered the docs.
