[R] Using bquote: question

Hi all

Observe:

x <- c(1,2)
y <- c(1,-1)

phi <- 1
p <- 2

par( mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(x , y, main=bquote( paste( p==.(p)," and ",phi==.(phi)) ) )
plot(y ~ x, main=bquote( paste( p==.(p)," and ",phi==.(phi)) ) )
par( mfrow=c(1,2))


On my system (details below), the first plot is correct (in my 
understanding), and produces a title reading "p=2 and phi=1" (with 
appropriate Greek for phi).

However, the second produces the title "TRUE and TRUE".

Is this a bug, or a misunderstanding or my part(in which case, I'm 
sure I'll be told the obscure location where this is documented!)?

Thanks.

P.
