That is strange, why not?

Exactly like this, but the function is not exported, and you need the
'curved' argument:
plot(3,5)
igraph:::igraph.Arrows(3,4,4,5)
igraph:::igraph.Arrows(3,4,4,5, curved=TRUE)
igraph:::igraph.Arrows(3,4,4,5, curved=-0.5)
igraph:::igraph.Arrows(3,4,4,5, curved=-1)
igraph:::igraph.Arrows(3,4,4,5, curved=1)
You need igraph version 0.5.2 for this I think. Type
head(igraph:::igraph.Arrows)
to see the other arguments to play with.
