c weirdness

is there a way to avoid c() appending ".0" and ".1" to seed?

Don't give it a named vector.  You can use the unname() function to 
strip the names from tab:

c("nons"=1, "seed"=unname(tab[1]))
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
c("nons"=1, "seed"=3)
nons seed                       ## good!
    1    3
c("nons"=1, "seed"=tab[1])
    nons  seed.0                 ## don't want ".0"!
       1 2344600
c("nons"=1, "seed"=tab[2])
   nons seed.1                   ## don't want ".1"!
      1   6843
tab
       0       1
2344600    6843
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Your example doesn't work here - you didn't show what 'tab' was.
Perhaps it was an output of table:
tab <- table(c(16,16,17,17,17))
c(n=1, seed=tab[2])
n seed.17
      1       3
c(n=1, seed=unname(tab[2]))
n seed
   1    3

Or use [[ instead of [ (assuming you are only selecting one item)
tab <- table(c(16,16,17,17,17))
c(n=1, seed=tab[2])
n seed.17

n seed
   1    3
c(n=1, seed=tab[["17"]])
n seed
