Even if that worked (it doesn't for me), you're still mixing
base (or tradtional) graphics with lattice graphics. Not a
good idea. I would replace the plot.new call with
trellis.device()
and then, after the levelplot, replace the mtext with
grid.text(...) as I suggested originally. You'll have
to fiddle a bit with the x location but that should
be easy to get the way you want.
One more thing, since you imply that this is for
publication, it's a good idea to create the plot close
to the size that will ultimately be printed; resizing
is always better avoided.
