You get a warning message when you specify a ylab parameter while
plotting data whose x's are POSIXct values.  Apparently the
`axis.POSIXct' method tries to reset the ylab---via the ...
parameter---after it has already been set by higher level methods.
Here is a function that illustrates the problem.
  ylabProblem <- function() {
    x <- ISOdate(2003, 4, 1:10)           # POSIXct vector
    y <- rnorm(10)
    plot(x, y, ylab = 'I am y')
  }
and this is what I get when I run it.
  > ylabProblem()
  Warning message: 
  parameter "ylab" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function
