Two things: 1) It sounds like you are right in thinking there's something funny about your particular data: could you provide it to us? The easiest way to do so is to use dput() to get a plain text representation ready for copy and paste.
2) What is esplot()? It's not in base R, but I imagine you are referring to Deepayn's script here: http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~deepayan/771/esplot.R ? Just to confirm in case there is something that needs looking at in the code.
