It's the same reason really (although it might not have worked if panel.bwplot had different arguments). Say you have bwplot(gl(2, 5) ~ 1:10) Then the panel function will get arguments x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10 y = 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 which are eventually supplied to panel.identify(), just as in your identify() example. The only difference is that panel.identify has reasonable defaults for x and y (namely the x and y passed to the corresponding panel), which happen to work in this case. This is possible because the trellis object is saved (by default) when it's printed, and so it's panel arguments can be recovered.
