This has all the hallmarks of a bug I found and fixed in R-devel (r46998). I did not port the patch over to the R release branch because I could not reproduce the bug.

Yes, this does appear to fix the issue. (Did you forget a NEWS file entry, though?)
You mean this? * Fixed obscure, poorly reproducible bug that nobody else has reported. Anyway, it's the same bug. There is a call to parse() in plot.mmfit() which generates a parse error. This has been wrapped in a silent call to try, so you never see the error message: Error in parse(text = colnames(z)[seq(1, 2 * np, 2)]) : unexpected numeric constant in "Parameter 1" This error leaves the parser in a bad state.
It's a two-line change fixing a live bug, so it could go in 2.8.1 even in code freeze. The problem is that it is inside gram.y which will trigger some maintainer-mode activity, and did trip up my Fedora laptop slightly. Hmmmm.... -p
Fedora 10 certainly won't let me do a maintainer mode build. I leave it in your hands. M.
Now committed for 2.8.1.
