You can either put code such as these first two lines
to grab the names of x and y before you alter x and y
in your function


badplot <- function(x, y, ylab, xlab, ...)
{
if (missing(ylab)) ylab <- deparse(substitute(y))
if (missing(xlab)) xlab <- deparse(substitute(x))

....
or use another mechanism such as match.call()


anotherbadplot <- function(x, y, ylab=match.call()$y,
xlab=match.call()$x,  ...)
{
....

but I don't see any bug here.
A more direct fix is to put

force(ylab)

somewhere early in the function, before modifying y.
