Hmisc - latex - table.env not observed

The following code

library(Hmisc)
x = 1:10
y = x
latex(summary(x~y),table.env=FALSE)
latex(summary(cbind(x,y)),table.env=FALSE)

should produce latex output that is not a table. The second  one 
produces just a tabular, as it should. However, the first one produces a 
tabular embedded in a table. (This is the effect if you leave 
table.env=FALSE out).
