I want to plot a histogram of a *subset* of some data:
This means I should plot a histogram from 0 to 5 with breaks at 1,2,3,4.  This
should produce exactly 5 bars of frequency=1.  Instead I get 5 and 1/4 bars.  I
do not want the 4% margins on the x axis that xaxs="r" provides.

This is still a problem.

xlim applies to the graph of the histogram, not the histogram itself.
You need to subset your before plotting.  Try:

hist(t[0<=t & t<=5], right=FALSE,breaks=10,xlim=c(0,5),xaxs="i")
