Hmm. I won't be able to help you then, let's hope someone else can.
I think this is a problem with the quartz device. I have often see that margin texts are plotted even in ordinary plot() if quartz thinks there is no space for them. They do still appear if you copy the screen graphics as a pdf file. In Linux (my principal platform) I typically reduce the white margins, but if I use the same mar pars in MacOS X I won't get axis labels. Quartz is the culprit I suppose.
Actually, in your example I couldn't get the texts when I saved the plot as a pdf (menu entry). However, when I opened an X11 device, the text was reproduced OK. So it looks like a quartz problem.
For X11 in MacOS X: It may not be in the default installation, but it is in the installation CD/DVD of MacOS X. Then you got to start it explicitly before launching x11() within R shell. In general, I wouldn't recommend using x11() in Mac, since quartz() looks so much better: x11 looks just as clumsy as x11 in Linux or the ordinary Windows plotting device in some other OS. -- And beware: I have a suspicion that if you stop your X11 in MacOS X, your mouse will die at logout and you got to boot (or restart the mouse demon if you know who he is).
