The problem is: lty=42 is not the same as lty="42", e.g.,
compare
 plot(1:10,type="l",lwd=3,lty="42")
 plot(1:10,type="l",lwd=3,lty=42)


I would like to use the "string"-mode for lty because thereby I can precisely 
define the stretch pattern.

Yes, that is possible, but again, the pattern cannot be specified precisely. 
As an alternative, one could use:

legend(x, y, c("A","B","C"), lty=c("11", "22", "42"),lwd=3)

But, unfortunately, solid lines do not seem to supported in "string" mode.
