Hi Vitalie:

I think I know what the problem is now.  Whenever I evaluate a transient 
block that contains a function definition along with some output (via 
C-c C-r), then the headings are shifted.

Here's a reproducible example...

panel.hist <- function(x, ...)
{
     usr <- par("usr"); on.exit(par(usr))
     par(usr = c(usr[1:2], 0, 1.5) )
     h <- hist(x, plot = FALSE)
     breaks <- h$breaks; nB <- length(breaks)
     y <- h$counts; y <- y/max(y)
     rect(breaks[-nB], 0, breaks[-1], y,  col="gray", ...)
}

summary(installed.packages())

Which produces...
