  The problem is that R-0.50-a4 has a simplified (mildly buggy) version of
image():

> image
function (x = seq(0, 1, len = nrow(z)), y = seq(0, 1, len = ncol(z)), 
        z, zlim = range(z, na.rm = TRUE), col = heat.colors(12), 
        ...) 
{
        plot(0, 0, xlim = range(x, na.rm = TRUE), ylim = range(y, 
                na.rm = TRUE), type = "n", xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i", 
                xlab = "", ylab = "", ...)
        .Internal(image(as.double(x), as.double(y), as.double(z), 
                as.double(zlim), col))

 --  which doesn't do the right thing with xlab and ylab.
  It appears fixed in 0.60, which is what I have: the workaround should be
fine.
