That's not a bug! It's documented, as well as it's solution. See
?filled.contour, Section "Note":
"The ouput produced by filled.contour is actually a combination of two
plots; one is the filled contour and one is the legend. Two separate
coordinate systems are set up for these two plots, but they are only
used internally - once the function has returned these coordinate
systems are lost. If you want to annotate the main contour plot, for
example to add points, you can specify graphics commands in the
plot.axes argument. An example is given below."
Please check those examples as well.
