This does not work for me (R 1.4.1):
legend(x,y, c("A","B","C"), lty=c("10", "22", "42"),lwd=3)
does the same as
legend(x,y, c("A","B","C"), lty=c("1", "22", "42"),lwd=3)
or
legend(x,y, c("A","B","C"), lty=c("11", "22", "42"),lwd=3)

It just produces a narrow dot pattern.
Moreover, the lty="10" produces a ghostscript error when plotted to 
postscript device:
