Of course you could hack plot.hclust (in Namespace stats) by modifying 
.../R/library/src/stats/R/hclust.R as follows (in order to provide a 
proper ylim argument):

diff hclust.R-orig hclust.R

<               sub = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = "Height", ...)

<     .Internal(dend.window(n, merge, height, hang, labels, ...))

Note that this quick hack is a *dirty* solution.
