I get a different result, undoubtedly because I have different packages loaded:

But I get a much longer and informative result with:

methods(plot)


As follow-up, I loaded lme4 (just guessing that was the package that was being used) and looked up merMCMC in R-search, finding that such objects were created with mcmcsamp. (I also noted that the methods available for such objects did NOT include plot, but they did include xyplot. So I made the sample object that is in the help page, and applied both plot and xyplot:

Error in as.double(y) :
  cannot coerce type 'S4' to vector of type 'double'
> plot(x=samp0)
Error in as.double(y) :
  cannot coerce type 'S4' to vector of type 'double'

So my (posterior) hypothesis is that you are using the wrong plot function.
