I get the same problem and after experimenting for a while I think I  
can solve it by randomizing the order of the entries:

 > broken <- broken[sample(417), ]

 > xyplot(Y ~ X | A, data=broken, pch=broken$C, col=broken$B)

Why xyplot should fail to properly assign pch values just because all  
"1"'s are at the beginning seems to me to be a bug.

After confirming the the problem recurs when re-order()-ed by broken 
$C, I am appending dput( ordered-broken) for others to experiment
