This is not a bug.

Please read the R FAQ and the posting guide 
(http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html) re. what a bug is and how 
to report bugs.

Please check against a recent version of R when reporting bugs (at least 
R-1.9.1, or R-patched or R-devel).


> spec.pgram is supposed to plot the periodogram values in dB, i.e., 10log10(.).

No! It is supposed to do what is documented.

?spec.pgram tells us that plot.spec() does the plotting. And ?plot.spec 
tells us that "conventional log scale" is used as the default.
You can explicitly set the argument  log="dB"  in order to apply the 
10*log10() transformation.
